Regulatory and market intelligence
Reports built from public Health Canada, FDA and EU data with our in-house tools, delivered before or alongside a regulatory engagement. Each one cites its sources and the date the data was pulled, and says what the data cannot show.

Report types
Canadian market-entry scan
Whether a comparable device is already licensed in Canada (MDALL, Class II to IV), who holds the licence, which MDEL holders operate in the category, and how crowded it is.

Coverage limits, stated up front
Public databases have gaps. Every report names them, so you know how far to rely on each result.
- MDALL lists active licences for Class II to IV devices. Class I devices do not need a licence and do not appear.
- Health Canada’s establishment licence listing has no public API, so MDEL holders are checked by manual search.
- FDA 510(k), PMA and De Novo data sit in separate databases. Many devices are exempt from 510(k).
- EUDAMED is still being rolled out. Missing entries do not mean a device has no CE mark.
What the reports are not
- Not a promise of leads, sales, approvals or timelines. They describe what public data shows on the date it was pulled.
- Not legal advice. Intelligence informs a regulatory strategy; it does not replace one.
- Not a contact list. Reports do not include personal contact details. Any request involving personal data is checked against CASL and PIPEDA first.
- Not a subscription or software product. The tools are in-house and used by us to prepare each report.
