“I had the pleasure of meeting Karina during a coaching session as part of the Venturelab Start-up Training Business Creation course. While participating in Venture Kick, we decided to work with Effectum Medical to address our regulatory questions, and we were assigned to Annalisa. Her support was particularly reassuring, given her hands-on experience in startup and corporate roles. Effectum Medical didn’t feel like a typical consultancy; they felt like an extension of our team, an extra set of hands to help us accomplish more in less time. Their guidance gave us the confidence to establish a clear roadmap for regulatory approval, which we carried into our Venturekick Stage III pitch—and won. I would wholeheartedly recommend Effectum Medical to any startup tackling regulatory challenges.”

“We chose Effectum Medical’s Plug & Play QMS because it was already the selected solution—we simply needed to implement it. The ready-to-use documentation provided a solid foundation, which significantly accelerated our setup. It’s comprehensive and saves a lot of time. One challenge was tailoring the system to our needs, especially since we only develop software. This required removing some sections, which might be tricky without prior experience. Fortunately, with our background in medical device development, implementation was smooth.
We’re definitely satisfied and would recommend it. Qualio is a robust platform. As one of the first customers using Qualio through Effectum, we experienced a bit of a learning curve, especially since some templates were initially provided as attachments rather than being fully integrated into the system. This was a valuable learning experience, particularly during early audits. With time and experience, and thanks to the successful integration with JIRA, the system has proven to be strong, compliant, and efficient. We’ve been very happy with the results and have already recommended it to others.
In general, the QMS documents offer excellent guidance and reflect best practices across the board. The system validation was already completed by Effectum, which saved us a lot of time and effort. Having both MDR and FDA requirements covered within the system was also a great advantage.”
