Audit-Ready Documentation for the Full Regulatory Lifecycle
Practical templates for QMS, medical device software compliance (IEC 62304), and regulatory submission packages.
Engineered to meet ISO 13485 and FDA expectations, ensuring your team produces clear, traceable, and defensible documentation at every stage.
Critical Challenges in Medical Device Software Compliance
REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY
Ambiguity regarding standard interpretations leads to inconsistent implementation and rework.
OVER-DOCUMENTATION
Engineering teams may overbuild documentation, creating unnecessary complexity that hinders development speed without improving compliance.
UNDER-DOCUMENTATION
Incomplete records and missing links in the design history file create significant risks during regulatory audits and FDA submissions.
BROKEN TRACEABILITY
Fragile connections between requirements, architecture, and verification results make it impossible to defend device safety and efficacy.
THEORETICAL OVERLOAD
A lack of practical, structured guidance means teams struggle to translate abstract standards into audit-ready technical documents.
Software Documentation
Practical templates for IEC 62304 compliance, including SDP, SRS, Architecture Description (SAD), and Design Specifications (SDS) with embedded auditor guidance.
Quality System & SOPs
ISO 13485 compliant Standard Operating Procedures and document control structures, bridging the gap between engineering and quality compliance.
Documentation & Compliance Solutions
The Clearance Suite provides a unified framework for the entire medical device development lifecycle. Beyond software, we support QMS establishment and full regulatory submission packages, ensuring your team produces auditable results from day one.
Risk Management
ISO 14971-aligned frameworks for risk management plans, hazard analysis, and integrated benefit-risk assessments across the product lifecycle.
Traceability & Integration
Automated link structures between requirements, risk controls, and test evidence to produce a live, audit-defensible Traceability Matrix (RTM).
Verification & Validation
Structured protocols for software verification and device validation, ensuring defensible test evidence and robust summary reports for reviewers.

Optional Add-ons
Expert Support & Documentation Services
Guided Documentation Walkthrough
A deep-dive, non-recorded session with our experts to explain the structure, logic, and implementation of the documentation suite within your specific project context.
Professional Documentation Review
Receive detailed feedback on your technical documentation. We identify gaps, assess traceability logic, and ensure your artifacts meet auditor expectations for quality and completeness.
Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and Compliance
Clearance was established to eliminate the guesswork inherent in medical device software documentation. We provide structured, practical templates grounded in real regulatory experience, designed to help teams meet IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 requirements with precision.
Our suite is built by engineers for engineers. We focus on technical traceability and audit-defensible structures, ensuring that your documentation is a reliable asset for both internal development and regulatory submissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do these templates ensure compliance with IEC 62304?
Every template is structured to align directly with IEC 62304 software life cycle requirements. We include built-in guidance for Class A, B, and C software, ensuring you only document what is required for your specific risk profile while maintaining full traceability.
Do you support FDA Basic and Enhanced documentation levels?
Yes. Our documentation suite is designed to meet both FDA Basic and Enhanced documentation expectations as outlined in the latest FDA software submission guidance. This ensures your submission is defensible and minimizes the risk of regulatory pushback.
How does the traceability logic work across documents?
The suite uses a consistent naming convention and cross-referencing structure that facilitates the creation of a Software Traceability Matrix (STM). This allows you to easily demonstrate that requirements are met by architectural elements and verified through testing.
What is the difference between a Walkthrough and the Templates?
The templates are professional, ready-to-use document structures. The Guided Documentation Walkthrough is an optional live session where our engineers explain the purpose and usage of each document, helping your team implement them correctly from day one.
Can we customize these templates for our specific software system?
Absolutely. The templates are designed to be practical and flexible. While they provide the necessary regulatory structure, they are modular, allowing you to adapt them to SaMD, embedded systems, or cloud-based medical software without unnecessary complexity.
