Case

Virtual support on regulatory strategy and project management

GN Hearing A/S

Challenge

  • Project management of a portfolio of separate workstreams.

  • Regulatory strategy (MDD / MDR) not finally decided, as the Notified Body was delayed in their MDR designation, and the EU Commission postponed MDR 12 months until May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • New device technology disrupter and most important new technology launch in years for GN Hearing, industry and patients.

We faced a regulatory challenge further complicated by the requirement of primarily supporting on a distance due to COVID-19.

In addition, we needed hands-on project management being able to execute and a strong commitment to deliver within agreed timelines, as a planned global launch was dependent on the CE mark of this new device.

Genau & More supported us strongly on this business-critical project and delivered on committed timeline. They delivered exactly, what they promised.
