About Me

I'm Leslie Williams, a copywriter and marketing consultant specializing in the medical device, life science and regulatory industries.  

I spent over sixteen years working for large medical device corporations, refining my copywriting and content creation skills before deciding to move into consulting a few years ago.  

In my spare time, I'm a volunteer firefighter and Advanced EMT who likes to get away in her cmaper as often as possible, exploring hiking and sightseeing and eating adventures across the US and Quebec.

Cosmetic Regulations and the FDA

Deciphering FDA cosmetic regulations is a bit like solving a puzzle. There are clear directives guiding the manufacture and packaging of a cosmetic product, others to prevent misbranding, adulteration, or the use of certain banned substances. But deciding whether a product is a cosmetic or a drug — and which regulations apply to which product — can be like trying to fit jagged pieces together while blindfolded and with one hand tied behind your back.

Urinalysis: New Technologies, New Potential

Do you think there’s “nothing new under the sun” with regard to urinalysis? Until recently, that may have been the case. Urinalysis, the world’s oldest diagnostic test, was long regarded in the laboratory as a necessary, labor-intensive procedure which provided invaluable but limited information for clinicians. Now, however, urinalysis is changing, courtesy of a new generation of analyzers that integrate and automate its two primary functions: chemistry and microscopic particle analysis.

Class I Devices Under MDR: To NB or not to NB?

If you manufacture medical devices for sale in the European Union, you’ll have to show that they conform to the EU’s new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). How you demonstrate conformity depends on how big a risk your device presents to patients. For devices that pose the greatest risk you have to engage a Notified Body (NB), a third-party organization that assesses your device’s fulfillment of the EU’s requirements.
