QARA Assistant
Real-time medical device regulatory intelligence
My Class IIa device is transitioning MDD→MDR. What are the deadlines and conditions for the extension?

For a non-implantable Class IIa, the extension provided by Regulation (EU) 2023/607 runs until December 31, 2028, under cumulative conditions:

  • Application submitted to a notified body before 26 May 2024
  • Formal NB agreement before 26 September 2024
  • No significant change to the device
  • Documented transition plan

If any of these conditions is not met, the transition applies at the original MDD certificate date or on 26 May 2024.

Frequently asked questions

QARA Assistant FAQ

How is the QARA Assistant different from ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT is a general-purpose model that notoriously hallucinates on regulatory references (invented MDCG numbers, approximate dates, wrong articles). The QARA Assistant is medical-device specialized: it relies on a structured knowledge base (MDR, IVDR, ISO, FDA, AI Act) + the platform’s real-time monitoring + your documents. It cites its sources and explicitly acknowledges when a question exceeds its knowledge.

What data does it pass to OpenAI or Groq?+

Processing goes through OpenAI (embeddings) and Groq (answer generation). No data is retained by these providers to train models (both APIs have a "zero retention" policy). Your attached documents are processed on the fly then deleted. Your conversations are stored only in your Supabase dashboard, hosted in Europe.

How many questions can I ask per day?+

50 questions/day with a free account, including during the 30-day trial. 200 questions/day with an Independent subscription (€590/year). Unlimited per user with the Company plan.

Can it analyze a PDF larger than 5 MB?+

The current limit is 5 MB per document, and the extracted text is capped at about 9,000 characters in the analysis context. For large technical files, you can split them into sections (CER, PSUR, PMCF plan, etc.) and ask targeted questions about each part.

Can the assistant replace my notified body?+

No, and it does not claim to. The QARA Assistant is a decision-support and monitoring tool. Any decision affecting a device in production must be validated with your notified body or an accredited QA/RA expert. This is reminded in every conversation and in the exported PDF memo.

Do my technical documents stay confidential?+

Yes. Your documents are stored only in your encrypted Supabase space (AES-256), hosted in Europe. They are neither shared nor used to improve the model. The extracted text is sent temporarily to Groq to generate the answer, under a zero-retention policy.
