About GRZAN
GRZAN (Global Regulatory Zone Access Navigator) — the global market-access navigator for medical devices and IVDs.
GRZAN is a specialist consultancy for medical device and IVD market access, providing end-to-end regulatory solutions across the product lifecycle and making international market entry simpler and faster.
Key figures. More than 25 wholly owned subsidiaries worldwide covering 50+ countries and regions; chosen by 100+ listed and leading Chinese device manufacturers, with 4,000+ successful cases; 12+ years in the sector and 200+ regulatory training sessions and seminars delivered.
What we do. Global market access: multi-country registration programmes, technical documentation, regulatory advice. Clinical evidence: clinical evaluation reports (CER), usability studies, overseas clinical investigations. Quality systems: ISO 13485, MDSAP, FDA QMSR and BGMP implementation and audit readiness. Authorised representative and licence-holder services across Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and North America.
Why GRZAN. A real operating entity, with the certificate held by the manufacturer: our direct overseas subsidiaries act as the compliant local holder, so the regulatory relationship stays clear and you keep control rather than being tied to a distributor. Direct access to the team: no time-zone gap, no language barrier, no cultural gap. Review points anticipated: we know what FDA 510(k), EU MDR, Southeast Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern reviewers look for, which shortens timelines and reduces deficiency letters. Pathway planning: pre-decision analysis and risk assessment before you commit.
Every engagement rests on three commitments: efficiency through pre-submission review, certainty through a clear pathway, and stability through a licence-holder that stays in place.
