Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA)

for Medical Devices

Smarter, Faster Regulatory Impact Assessment in Days (not Weeks)

In today’s fast-changing regulatory environment, medical device companies must keep pace with frequent updates from bodies like the EU’s Notified Bodies, FDA, MHRA, and other global health authorities. The introduction of MDR, IVDR, and similar frameworks has only increased the complexity and compliance burden.

DDi’s AI-powered Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) solution from Visu, helps medical device manufacturers transform their compliance process from reactive and manual to proactive, scalable, and intelligent.

The Challenge: Fragmented and Manual RIA

Regulatory changes can lead to a ripple effect across labeling, design history files, clinical evaluation reports, IFUs, and technical documentation. However, most organizations still depend on:

  • Spreadsheets and static reports for change tracking
  • Manual interpretation of regulatory texts
  • Isolated data silos across regulatory, engineering, and QA teams
  • Reactive planning after updates are already in effect

This traditional approach makes it difficult to identify relevant changes quickly, act decisively, or ensure full traceability during audits.

AI-Driven RIA Solution, powered by Visu

By embedding advanced AI into the core of our platform, Visu automates and augments every stage of the RIA process:

Automated Regulatory Monitoring

AI bots scan global health authority sites – including MDR/IVDR notices and FDA announcements – using NLP to identify relevant updates in near real-time.

Contextual Impact Mapping

Our AI models match changes directly to device categories, design documentation, and submission data – eliminating guesswork.

Risk-Based Prioritization

AI evaluates the scope and severity of changes, enabling you to triage responses based on risk level and business impact.

Automated Alerts & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Trigger workflows and alerts across RA, engineering, labeling, and quality teams with auto-assigned tasks and timelines.

Benefits of AI-Enabled RIA for MedTech

  • Faster Turnaround: Reduce manual analysis time by up to 80%
  • Greater Accuracy: AI minimizes human error in mapping and interpretation
  • Actionable Insights: Prioritize based on real business and compliance risk
  • Global Scalability: Manage compliance across diverse regions and device lines without increasing headcount
  • Audit-Ready Documentation: Complete traceability and version control for every decision and action
