From initial concept to FDA submission, Business Analysts play an essential role in ensuring medical devices are developed with regulatory compliance and patient safety in mind. By driving clarity in requirements, supporting risk identification, and ensuring traceability between hazards, mitigations, and testing, a Business Analyst helps translate regulatory expectations into actionable and traceable requirements and designs. Their involvement in risk management activities, design documentation control, and stakeholder alignment supports the creation of submission-ready artifacts that meet FDA standards.
This session is designed for professionals supporting initiatives in both regulated and non-regulated industries who want to understand the FDA approval process and grasp the important role business analysts play in it.
