“Navigating and understanding the specifics of local country medical device submissions is a complicated undertaking. The local in-country teams at Asia Actual really did a fantastic job at making our submissions painless. They knew exactly the content needed by the local authorities. Where there was misalignment between the content we submitted and what was required, the Asia Actual teams got back to us quickly with the information needed to make our submission conform to the local requirements. In one instance, we needed to complete a registration with an aggressive timeline. The Asia Actual team worked with the local authorities to push our submission, and we completed the device registration on time.”
