Medical Device Recall Management

Most medical device companies are ill-prepared to handle an FDA 483 warning letter, much less a product recall. Product recalls can lead to significant financial and reputational losses in addition to low staff morale and a massive drop in market share. It’s prudent to have an expert well-versed in the best practices of recall management by your side from the beginning to mitigate these risks or avoid them altogether.

Waddell Group’s experienced consultants and project management experts have worked with medical device companies across the globe to get them moving in the right direction during crises like product recalls.

Step 2: Create a Comprehensive Project Management and Recall Plan

Our roadmap accounts for all the departments and personnel affected by the recall. This includes ensuring the company and the applicable regulatory body work together to resolve the issue using open communication and a feedback loop when appropriate.

We ensure everyone has everything they need to get the product back on the market.
