Testimonials

A Boutique Law Firm which Specializes in FDA Regulations

Thanks for the demo on how to navigate Orca1’s platform. A comparable search in our current Basil system would have taken me hours, in Orca1 it took minutes.

Expert Consultant, Ex FDA Deputy Director, Digital Health FDA

Safe to say Orca1 is considerably more sophisticated than what I put out and anything the FDA is doing! Your prices are too low!

A Leading Graduate Medical School

It took us over 2 weeks to collect the information needed for our MDER paper. Orca1 provided this information in minutes. I am so excited to access all the data on your platform!

A Full-Service Consulting Business for the Medical Device Industry

I have been using the Orca1 Digital Intelligence Platform for the past year. This has been a great tool to help me with a variety of quality and regulatory activities.
In one case when it seemed certain that a device was going to require a De Novo, the Orca1 platform allowed me to find a predicate device that had similar indications for use and technology, which saved a considerable amount of time for research and both time and money by supporting a 510(k) submission instead of a De Novo.
The tool for reviewing company compliance history including past inspections, warning letters, recalls and adverse events reports allowed fast and useful information to be accessible in preparation for a Due Diligence audit.

One of the World's Top Law Firms

Our client, facing their first FDA on-site inspection for a PMA product, was very inquisitive to understand the process and the expectations. As part of the planning stage, we contacted Orca1 to obtain a comprehensive intelligence profile of the assigned investigator. This insightful information empowered us to address potential concerns and navigate the inspection smoothly, resulting in no 483 observations. With this hurdle cleared we can now focus our attention back on bringing this innovative product to market.
Thanks again Orca1

An Early-Phase Medical Device Inventor and Manufacturer

Orca has been an instrumental tool guiding the regulatory strategy of the company. The platform allowed me to effortlessly identify a predicate device that was ultimately used for our FDA Q-sub. Furthermore, the user interface allows you to conduct broad searches in minutes that used to take hours on the traditional FDA website.
