Frequently asked questions

Is bioaccess® a direct competitor to Qserve Group?

Only in a narrow slice. Qserve Group is a large, reputable global regulatory-affairs consultancy serving customers across the US, EU and many other regions with the full regulatory lifecycle. bioaccess® is purpose-built for one job: medical device registration and in-country registration-holder / importer-of-record services across 19 Latin American & Caribbean markets. If you need a single global RA partner across many regions, Qserve Group is often the better fit. If your near-term milestone is LATAM registration with one flat annual fee per country, bioaccess® is purpose-built for it.

What does bioaccess® include in its flat annual subscription?

The annual subscription per country and device family includes the government submission fees, certified or sworn translations where the agency requires them, the in-country registered agent, and the regulatory liaison. Additional device families in the same country are quoted on request. Electrical/EMC and RF homologation for wireless devices are handled through the country's telecom authority at vendor cost plus a 20% G&A handling fee.

How long do LATAM registrations take with bioaccess®?

Typical time-to-registration once the dossier is submitted: 90 days for low-risk devices and 120 days for Class II/III — varying by country and classification, and excluding health-authority queries and audit scheduling outside our control. Indicative review windows vary by country and device class: INVIMA (Colombia) Class I/IIa automatic issuance, Class IIb/III full prior review on the order of ~90 business days; ANMAT (Argentina) risk-based classification, lower-risk classes registering faster and higher-risk classes taking several months (experience-based, not a statutory cap); COFEPRIS (Mexico) ~30-working-day processing target on the equivalence route (vía abreviada) for eligible devices and roughly ~30/35/60 working days standard by class; ISP (Chile) 30–90 days (experience-based); ANVISA (Brazil) notificação (Class I/II, effectively immediate on a valid submission) or registro (Class III/IV) subject to statutory maximums up to ~250–365 days. Submission workmanship is backed by the bioaccess® Submission Guarantee (full terms in proposal).

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

Yes — this is a common pattern. Sponsors regularly use Qserve Group (or a similar global RA consultancy) for US FDA and EU MDR/IVDR work and pair that with bioaccess® for LATAM registration and in-country registration-holder services. Our documentation is designed to be portable and to reuse the FDA or CE technical file so the LATAM submission slots in cleanly.

When should I choose Qserve Group instead of bioaccess®?

Choose Qserve Group (or another global RA consultancy in its category) when your primary need is US FDA original submissions, EU MDR/IVDR with a notified body, MDSAP, or a single global RA partner spanning many regions beyond LATAM. bioaccess® is the right choice when LATAM registration in one or more of our 19 markets is the near-term milestone and you want one flat annual fee with the local entity accountability included.
