A Strong Regulatory Focused Team Helping You Achieve EU Medical Device Compliance.
Advena was set-up in 1996 by John Adcock, first registered in 1998 as a UK business, have offered our EU Authorised Representative (EC REP) service from those very early years and today remains one of our key services. Along with the EC REP service, we offer regulatory consultancy services to many clients around the world whom we have helped achieve their regulatory goals by helping to carry the burden of responsibility with cost-effective regulatory services.
Since those early days Advena has grown and developed into a stronger regulatory focused business always looking in enhance the client experience. Of course, the UK is no longer part of the EU and as a result Advena went through a restructuring process that saw us relocate our business to the Island of Malta where we are now well established and have developed a good working relationship with the Malta Medicines Authority, the Competent Authority.
The business continues to drive forward from strength to strength thanks to a management team of experienced professionals with expert regulatory experience.
