Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs (QARA)
In a market where a single regulatory gap can delay your device by 12 to 18 months, drain millions in remediation, and shake stakeholder confidence, QARA is not just a checkbox. It is your sharpest competitive edge.
Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs (QARA) is the bridge between engineering innovation and market access for medical device OEMs. It covers the systems, processes, and regulatory activities that ensure your devices are safe, effective, and compliant with global regulations, including EU MDR, IVDR, FDA QMSR, and ISO 13485 across their entire lifecycle.
LTTS embeds regulatory intelligence into every stage, from design controls and risk management to global submissions and post-market surveillance, so you can focus on what matters: devices that improve lives. Faster approvals. Fewer audit findings. Compliance confidence across the US, EU, Canada, Japan, India, and every market that matters to you.

QARA ensures medical devices are safe, effective, and compliant across their lifecycle. It covers design controls, QMS, regulatory submissions, risk management, post-market surveillance, and global standards such as EU MDR, FDA 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971.
QARA is essential for patient safety, regulatory compliance, and market access. A strong QARA framework helps medical device companies avoid approval delays, audit findings, recalls, and penalties while improving product quality and regulatory confidence.
Outsourcing QARA helps medical device companies access specialized regulatory expertise, scale resources efficiently, reduce compliance risk, and focus internal teams on innovation. LTTS supports flexible, end-to-end QARA execution across global regulatory markets.
LTTS provides post-market surveillance support including PMS plans, complaint handling, trend analysis, vigilance reporting, PSURs, PMCF support, and field safety corrective actions. AI-led analytics help identify quality and safety signals earlier.
Companies should engage a QARA partner early in the product development lifecycle to build regulatory and quality requirements into the design. LTTS also supports OEMs during submissions, EU MDR transitions, audit remediation, and QMS scaling.
LTTS offers end-to-end QARA services for medical devices, including regulatory strategy, 510(k), PMA, CE Marking, EU MDR technical files, QMS implementation, risk management, CAPA, supplier quality, and post-market surveillance, supported by AI-led capabilities through QAssure.ai.
A regulatory affairs partner helps medical device companies manage global compliance, regulatory submissions, QMS requirements, audit readiness, and post-market obligations. LTTS acts as an extended QARA partner, helping OEMs reduce risk and accelerate approvals.
LTTS supports EU MDR and IVDR compliance through gap assessments, technical file remediation, clinical evaluation reports, PMS and PMCF planning, UDI compliance, and Notified Body support, helping OEMs improve audit readiness and market access confidence.
Proactive QARA helps identify compliance gaps early, improve documentation quality, and reduce submission or audit-related delays. LTTS helps OEMs build audit-ready processes and shift from reactive compliance to proactive regulatory confidence.
AI is making QARA faster, smarter, and more scalable through automated document review, regulatory gap analysis, predictive CAPA, and regulatory change monitoring. LTTS uses QAssure.ai to help OEMs improve compliance speed and quality intelligence.
