Scope of Work: AI-Powered Regulatory Documentation for FDA 510(k) & ISO 13485
Significant Cost Reductions & Performance Improvements
Updated AI Platform for Medical Device Regulatory Documentation
This Scope of Work outlines an enterprise-grade AI platform that will automate the creation of regulatory documentation for medical device manufacturers. The proposed system will integrate with existing Azure Blob Storage infrastructure and align to ISO 13485 design controls and FDA 510(k) requirements, generating compliant drafts for 8 critical document types with intelligent RAG-based retrieval from controlled documentation.
This proposal has been updated to reflect significant AI market advancements since October 2024. New models (Gemini 2.0, Claude 3.7) deliver superior performance at lower cost, resulting in a 10% price reduction ($4,500 savings) while maintaining all original capabilities and deliverables.
