bioaccess® vs Freyr — LATAM Medical Device Registration

Last reviewed: August 2026.

Freyr is a global RA firm whose LATAM market-access work lists ANVISA, COFEPRIS, ANMAT, and INVIMA, with a strong presence in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. On its BRH page, Freyr serves as Brazilian Registration Holder and also describes an extensive partner network across Brazil. Mexico wording is coordination with a holder or legal representative — Freyr may not always be the titular. It offers "cost-effective annual support for BRH Service," which is not an all-in government-fee + certified-translation subscription. Its 99%+ first-time-right figure is a marketing KPI, not a fee-credit workmanship guarantee. bioaccess® is purpose-built for the two-part registration pricing across 19 markets, with own in-country entities, government fees and in-house translations under published two-part pricing (one-time registration fee plus annual holder fee), a bioaccess® Submission Guarantee (workmanship), and a Trial-to-Market Bridge (20% for trial clients). Pairing a global RA shop such as Freyr with bioaccess® for LATAM is a common pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Is bioaccess® a direct competitor to Freyr?

Only in a narrow slice. Freyr is a large, reputable global regulatory-affairs consultancy with a LATAM hub and a strong presence in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. bioaccess® is purpose-built for one job: medical device registration and in-country registration-holder / importer-of-record services across 19 Latin American markets on the two-part registration pricing. If you need a single global RA partner across many regions, Freyr is often the better fit. If your near-term milestone is LATAM registration with published two-part pricing per country, bioaccess® is purpose-built for it.

Can I use both bioaccess® and Freyr on the same program?

Yes — this is a common pattern. Sponsors regularly use Freyr (or a similar global RA consultancy) for broader regulatory-affairs work and pair that with bioaccess® for LATAM registration and in-country registration-holder services.

When should I choose Freyr instead of bioaccess®?

Choose Freyr (or another global RA consultancy in its category) when your primary need is a single global RA partner, Brazilian Registration Holder support that may include a partner network, or LATAM as one line item inside a larger multi-region program. bioaccess® is the right choice when LATAM registration in one or more of 19 markets is the near-term milestone and you want published two-part pricing with government fees, in-house certified translations, and local entity accountability included.
