Life Sciences — Traksjon

European clinical evidence meets American market access. We navigate both.

We unlock FDA pathways, reimbursement, and hospital adoption for medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health from Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

The challenge

You’re already here. But are you winning?

Your device, diagnostic, or digital health platform is CE-marked and clinically adopted at home. You’ve established a US presence, perhaps cleared the FDA. And the revenue still isn’t following.

US life sciences has four gates, and clearing the first one — the only one most companies plan for — doesn’t open the other three:

This is the terrain we work in daily. The companies that win here treat regulatory clearance as the entry ticket, and reimbursement and adoption as the actual game.

What we unlock

Four channels. One firm.

Regulatory pathway & FDA strategy

510(k), De Novo, or PMA; predicate strategy; Pre-Submission planning; US Agent, establishment registration, and device listing — sequenced so the pathway decision drives everything else.

Reimbursement & market access

CPT/HCPCS coding, coverage with CMS and private payers, and the health-economic value story that turns clearance into revenue.

Hospital & health-system adoption

GPO and IDN channels, value-analysis committees, and the clinical champions and KOLs who actually move purchasing decisions.

Evidence & compliance

US-relevant clinical evidence and real-world data, plus the HIPAA and Anti-Kickback/Sunshine guardrails your commercial model has to live within.

How we work here

The method, applied to life sciences

Think slow: sequence the four gates

We map your FDA pathway, reimbursement route, buyer landscape, and evidence gaps as one plan — because a decision at any gate reshapes the other three. Most US life-science failures are sequencing failures.

Act fast: build the value case early

Reimbursement and health-economic work starts alongside regulatory, not after it. Arriving at clearance with coding, coverage strategy, and clinical champions already in motion compresses time-to-revenue by quarters.

Win big: turn one system into a standard

One health system adopting fully — through its value-analysis committee, with measured outcomes — becomes the reference that carries you across the GPO and IDN landscape.

Straight answers

Asked often

Does our CE mark help with the FDA?

It helps your internal readiness, but it doesn’t substitute. The FDA pathway for your product class — 510(k), De Novo, or PMA — sets its own evidence requirements, and European clinical data isn’t automatically accepted. Establishing the pathway and the predicate is the first real US decision.

Why do people say reimbursement matters more than clearance?

Because clearance lets you sell legally, while reimbursement determines whether anyone can afford to buy. Without a coding, coverage, and payment path — through CMS and private payers — hospitals have no budget mechanism for your product, however good the clinical story.

Who actually decides a hospital purchase?

Rarely one person. Value-analysis committees weigh clinical benefit against cost; GPOs and IDNs shape which products are even available to buy; clinicians champion but seldom sign. Selling to the committee is a different craft from selling to the physician.

Do we need a US entity or just a US Agent?

The FDA requires foreign establishments to designate a US Agent — that’s the minimum. A US entity becomes important for liability, hospital contracting, hiring, and credibility, and most companies that get traction establish one. The right timing depends on your channel model.

Where will you play in this market?

If your device, diagnostic, or digital health platform is proven at home and underrealized here — we should have a conversation.

Traksjon assesses fit before committing. The conversation is the first step, not the commitment.
