FDA guidance tracking, mapped to your submission.
Guidance changes constantly, and drafting against a superseded version is a quiet source of risk. REGARA keeps a daily-indexed atlas of agency guidance connected to the sections you’re writing.
FDA guidance documents interpret how the agency expects requirements to be met — and they are revised often. A single cybersecurity or software guidance can supersede its predecessor more than once in a few years, and drafting against the wrong version is easy to do and hard to catch.
Beyond the FDA, teams filing globally have to track EMA, PMDA, and other authorities in parallel, each with its own evolving expectations. Manually monitoring these sources — and knowing which change actually affects your submission — is a job in itself.
REGARA maintains a daily-indexed guidance atlas and maps each document to the submission sections it governs, so when expectations shift, you know exactly what to revisit and why.
- 01Daily-indexed atlas
A continuously updated index of FDA, EMA, and PMDA guidance — so the current version is always the one in front of you.
- 02Submission mapping
Each guidance document is linked to the submission sections it governs, so a change surfaces exactly where it matters.
- 03Change alerts
Know when a guidance relevant to your active submissions is issued, revised, or superseded — with the delta explained.
- 04Cited drafting
Drafts reference the specific, current guidance behind each expectation, so your rationale is defensible on the day you file.
Why tracking guidance manually fails.
It changes fast.
Key guidance can be superseded multiple times in a few years. Point-in-time knowledge goes stale quietly.
Many authorities.
Global programs track FDA, EMA, PMDA and more in parallel. REGARA consolidates them into one current view.
Signal over noise.
Most changes don’t affect your device. REGARA maps changes to your submissions so you only act on the ones that do.
- QWhat is FDA guidance tracking?
FDA guidance tracking is the practice of monitoring the agency’s guidance documents — which interpret regulatory expectations — for new, revised, and superseded versions, and understanding which changes affect your submissions. REGARA automates this with a daily-indexed atlas mapped to your work.
- QWhy does using current guidance matter?
Guidance is revised frequently, and drafting to a superseded version can introduce expectations the FDA no longer holds — or miss ones it now does. Referencing the current guidance keeps your submission defensible at the moment you file.
- QDoes REGARA track non-FDA authorities?
Yes. REGARA indexes guidance from the FDA, EMA, PMDA, and other authorities, giving global programs a single current view instead of separately monitoring each source.
- QHow is guidance connected to my submission?
REGARA maps each guidance document to the submission sections it governs. When a relevant guidance is issued or revised, the change surfaces on the exact sections it affects, with the delta explained.
