Submissions success rate

FDA doesn't reject bad software. They reject bad documentation.

Your development team ships fast and solves hard problems, but FDA reviewers don't care how clever your code is. They care whether you can prove it works and that you followed the process. If your software requirements spec is incomplete, your traceability matrix has gaps, or your verification protocols don't map to your risk analysis, your submission stalls.

Most startups learn this the hard way: months into a 510(k) review, scrambling to reverse-engineer documentation they should have built from day one.

“We didn’t know what FDA expected.”

First-time submitters often discover IEC 62304 and design control requirements after their software is already built, forcing expensive rework.

“Our team writes code, not SOPs.”

Software engineers aren’t trained in regulatory documentation. Asking them to write an SRS or SVP from scratch wastes their time and produces documents that don’t pass review.

“Our RA team doesn’t write software docs.”

Regulatory affairs knows what FDA expects, but software documentation requires someone who understands the code. That’s a different skill set, and most teams don’t have it in-house.

A complete software DHF, from SOPs to submission.

We work alongside your engineering team to build every document FDA expects to see, structured to IEC 62304 and mapped to your actual development workflow.

Quality System Foundation

  • 6 software SOPs covering QMS validation, development, maintenance, problem resolution, configuration management, and test fixture validation
  • Two training sessions for your software development staff
  • FDA/IEC 62304 requirements implementation guidance

Architecture Phase Documents

  • Software Development Plan (SDP)
  • Software Verification Plan (SVP)
  • Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
  • System & Software Architecture Design (SAD) charts
  • Software Risk Analysis Table (SRAT)

Development & Test Phase Documents

  • Build & Deploy Procedures (B&DP)
  • Software Verification Test Protocol (SVTP)
  • Software Verification Test Report (SVTR) template
  • Software Traceability Matrix (STM)
  • Software/Firmware Description
  • Version History & Unresolved Anomalies templates

The technical half of your submission team.

Software documentation for FDA sits in a gap between engineering and regulatory affairs. Your RA team knows the submission process. Your engineers know the code. But writing an SRS, building a traceability matrix, or documenting a software architecture in a way that satisfies IEC 62304? That takes someone who lives in both worlds. That's where we come in.

Engineer-to-Engineer

We work directly with your developers to document what they’ve actually built. The result is documentation that your RA team and FDA reviewers can trust because it reflects reality.

Built for Startups

You’re moving fast with a lean team. Our process fits into your sprint cadence. Not the other way around.

Cybersecurity + Software Together

Need cybersecurity documentation too? Most of our clients do. We deliver both DHF and cybersecurity packages as one coordinated program, saving time and cutting redundant work.

Is this right for your team?

  • First-time 510(k) submitters building software-driven devices
  • SaMD companies preparing their first FDA submission
  • Startups moving from prototype to regulated development
  • Teams inheriting legacy software with incomplete documentation
  • Companies that received FDA feedback on their software DHF and need to address it
  • Organizations setting up their first software quality management system

Most software teams also need cybersecurity documentation.

If your device connects to a network, stores patient data, or runs as SaMD, FDA requires a complete cybersecurity package alongside your software DHF. We're one of the few firms that deliver both as a single engagement.

FAQ

How long does a typical engagement take?

4 to 8 weeks depending on software complexity and how much documentation you already have. Starting from scratch takes closer to 8.

Do we need to pause development?

No. We work alongside your dev team during active sprints. It’s actually better if development continues since we can document in real time instead of reverse-engineering.

What if we have some documentation but aren’t sure it’s enough?

That’s what the gap analysis is for. We review what you have, find the holes, and map out the fastest path to a complete DHF.

Can you help with cybersecurity documentation too?

Yes. It’s our core business. Most clients hire us for both software DHF and cybersecurity as a bundled program.

What standards do you follow?

We work within IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), ISO 14971 (risk management), IEC 81001-5-1 (cybersecurity), and FDA’s premarket software documentation guidance. We coordinate with your regulatory team to make sure everything aligns with your broader submission strategy.

Do you replace our regulatory affairs consultant?

No. We handle the software-specific technical documentation that sits between engineering and regulatory. Your RA team or consultant owns the submission strategy and the broader regulatory package. We make their job easier by giving them clean, complete software documentation they can plug right in.
