Navigating Regulatory and Quality Challenges

In today’s fast-paced and highly regulated commercial landscape, staying ahead of compliance requirements is not just a necessity—it’s a strategic advantage. At Pennine, we pride ourselves on our robust regulatory knowledge and horizon scanning, which we can use to help our partners navigate these challenges seamlessly.

Currently, we have a dedicated team of ten staff members, including our newly appointed Head of Quality and Regulatory Affairs, Clare Huntington, who are dedicated to maintaining the high quality of our products and our regulatory certifications. Ensuring that every aspect of our work meets the stringent regulations and standards that govern our industry, our team work hard to bring the ideas and proposals of our Commercial Partnerships to life.

Lets take a brief look at some of their responsibilities…

Compliance Verification: Our team meticulously evaluate whether every project and commercial opportunity aligns with current regulations and standards. This step is crucial in maintaining our strong reputation and upholding our Triple S Guarantee.

Change Control Processes: When changes are necessary, our team handles them through structured change control processes. This ensures that any modifications are seamlessly integrated without disrupting compliance.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Adherence: Before embarking on any commercial opportunity, we rigorously check if it falls within our existing SOPs. This proactive approach helps to prevent any compliance issues from arising later.

Manufacturing Capabilities Assessment: We also evaluate whether we have previously manufactured something similar. This helps us leverage existing knowledge and infrastructure, ensuring true operational efficiency.

Infrastructure Feasibility: Our team assesses the feasibility of accessing and utilising our infrastructure for new opportunities. This ensures that we can meet demands without compromising on our current high standards of quality.

Quality Agreements and Specifications: We set up comprehensive quality agreements and specifications with our partners. These agreements outline the standards and expectations, providing a clear framework for compliance.

Process and Machinery Validation: Our team validates any new processes or machinery to ensure they meet all requirements before being put into production.

Quality Control (QC) Release Testing: We implement QC release testing as required, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards before it reaches the market.

Our commitment to delivering high quality products and supporting our local environment is underscored by our prestigious accreditations:

  • ISO 13485: This certification demonstrates our adherence to quality management systems specifically for medical devices, ensuring that our products are safe and effective.
  • ISO 14001: Bringing a new competitive advantage to the industry, this certification highlights our commitment to environmental management standards, reflecting our dedication to sustainability.
  • MDR & UKCA: These certifications showcase our compliance with the latest medical device regulations in the EU and UK, ensuring that our products meet the highest safety and performance standards.

At Pennine, we understand that navigating regulatory and quality challenges is a complex and continuous process. However, with our experienced team, we turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and success. Partner with us and experience the confidence that comes with unparalleled regulatory compliance and quality assurance.
