  • Fast, easy and compliant onboarding helps you avoid delays.

Maintenance

  • Vigilance Reporting: We support manufacturers with reporting serious incidents, trend reports, periodic summary reports, and field safety corrective actions, mitigating risks and ensuring timely compliance with EU regulations.
  • Regulatory Communication: Acting as the main contact between the manufacturer and EU Competent Authorities, we manage all communications and address regulatory queries by collaborating with the manufacturer.
  • Annual Check-in: Each year we will verify documentation updates, safety reporting, and other information to ensure continued compliance.
  • Documentation Management: Lumis securely stores and archives relevant technical and regulatory documentation, ensuring easy access for authorities.
  • Additional Services: we can provide additional services such as applying for certificates of free sale and submitting applications to notified bodies.

Closeout

  • If needed, we handle project closeout, including archiving documents for the duration required by the MDR/IVDR.
  • Vigilance responsibilities – we may continue some vigilance activities beyond mandate closure to ensure ongoing compliance.

Full Mandate Compliance

We perform all necessary activities under Article 11 (3) (a-h) of the MDR/IVDR, ensuring complete EU regulatory compliance.
