What we offer

Advisory across the total product lifecycle

From building your first quality management system to resolving a notified body finding, our consulting work covers the quality and regulatory questions that most often stand between a medical device and its market. Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner, scoped around the few issues that will make the biggest difference, and backed by our own technology solutions where they add speed or insight.

QMS Design & Implementation

Quality management systems built or rebuilt around how your organisation actually works, covering ISO 13485, EU MDR and IVDR, and other market requirements. From first set-up and certification to simplifying and digitalising a system that has grown unwieldy.

Quality & Compliance Remediation

Focused recovery when things have slipped, whether that is CAPA and nonconformance backlogs, complaint handling, technical documentation gaps or audit findings. We find the real causes, fix them, and strengthen the process so the same problems do not come back.

Regulatory Strategy & Market Access

Classification, conformity assessment routes and regulatory pathways for mature and emerging markets. We support you in working with notified bodies and authorities, from planning through to submission and approval.

Audit & Inspection Readiness

Preparation for notified body, certification, unannounced and regulatory audits and inspections. Mock and internal audits led by a certified ISO 13485 Lead Auditor, support on the day, and clear, convincing responses to findings.

EU Market Readiness: Authorised Representative & PRRC

For manufacturers placing devices on the EU market, especially those based outside Europe: EU Authorised Representative services, PRRC services under EU MDR Article 15, and practical support to meet your EU obligations from within Europe.

Sustainability & Circular Economy

Compliance and market access for a more circular medtech industry: refurbishment and remanufacturing of medical equipment, circular and eco-design, and sustainability standards and requirements including IEC 63077, ESPR and PPWR. We help you bring refurbished and sustainable products to market with confidence.

How we work

Our approach

We start from your problem, not a predefined package. True to the quintile principle behind our name, we identify the vital few issues that drive most of your compliance risk and focus effort there first. You work directly with a senior practitioner throughout, and we build capability in your team as we go, so the improvements last after the engagement ends.

01
Discovery & assessment

We review your documentation, processes and regulatory position, and talk to the people who run them. The output is a clear, prioritised picture of where you stand and what matters most.

02
Strategy & planning

Together we agree a practical plan: priorities, deliverables, owners and timelines that fit your resources and your regulatory deadlines. Scope and cost are agreed up front, with no surprises.

03
Delivery & implementation

We do the work alongside your team, drafting, reviewing, investigating, training and coaching as needed. Progress is visible at every stage, with regular check-ins against the plan.

04
Review & handover

We verify that the outcomes have been achieved and are effective, then hand over complete documentation and know-how so your team can sustain the results independently.

Why Quintalys

What sets us apart

30 years inside leading medtech companies
Senior quality and regulatory leadership at global medtech brands such as Philips Healthcare and GE Healthcare, across design, manufacturing, post-market and refurbishment. We have sat on your side of the table and know what it takes to run Q&R in a real business.
A senior practitioner on every engagement
The person who scopes your work is the person who delivers it, whether you are a start-up building your first quality system or an established manufacturer scaling global operations. Our approach is proportionate to your size and stage, without layers of junior staff learning on your project.
Shaping the standards, not just following them
Active in international standardisation and industry bodies, with hands-on experience developing the standards medtech companies are audited against. Our advice reflects where regulations and standards are heading, not only where they are today.
EU-based, with recognised credentials
Based in Europe, with qualified PRRC and certified ISO 13485 Lead Auditor credentials. That gives manufacturers, especially those outside the EU, a credible regulatory partner on the ground in their target market.
Fluent in mature and emerging markets
We understand both the demands of mature regulatory systems and the realities of companies entering them from emerging markets, so our guidance is relevant and practical wherever you operate.
Focused on the vital few, backed by technology
True to the quintile principle behind our name, we use Lean Six Sigma and data to find the few issues that drive most of your risk, and fix those first. When you need more capacity or smarter tools, our managed services and technology solutions are part of the same partnership.
