CertHub
AI-powered technical documentation, QMS, and design control for medical device and IVD regulatory compliance.
Overview
CertHub is a Munich-based software company that develops AI-powered compliance tools for the medical device industry. Its platform covers electronic Technical Documentation (eTD), electronic Quality Management Systems (eQMS), and Design Control, and is aimed primarily at small and medium-sized MedTech manufacturers working with traditional medical devices, in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). The platform is built and hosted in Germany, co-funded by the EU, and is used by more than 150 MedTech industry experts across device risk classes I, IIa, IIb, and III.
CertHub's stated goal is to reduce the time and cost associated with regulatory submissions and quality management by automating documentation workflows through a structured data approach. The platform is designed to make companies audit-ready without requiring deep regulatory knowledge from every user, and it covers a broad range of international standards and regulatory frameworks within a single subscription.
Core Products and Modules
- Fast Track to Certification and QMS ISO 13485: An AI Certification Assistant that helps prepare QMS and technical documentation for regulatory submission within a few weeks, tailored to the specific medical device in question.
- 1-Click Documentation (eTD and eQMS): A fully validated electronic Technical Documentation and Quality Management System module that generates audit-ready documentation in a single action, supporting both new documentation and migration of legacy files.
- QM Audit Checker: Simulates a real QMS audit and management review, flags non-conformities against ISO 13485, EU MDR Annex IX, and FDA requirements, and produces a corrective actions plan. Operates as a plug-and-play AI agent requiring no integration.
- Conformity and Gap Checker: Assesses documentation readiness from initial drafting through to submission, performing gap analysis and pre-audit checks to verify that each entry is defensible. Also operates as a plug-and-play AI agent with no integration required.
- UDI Management and EUDAMED: Supports EUDAMED registration and UDI management without requiring a separate XML solution or ERP integration.
