The Challenge: Global Compliance Without the Resources
Argon Medical is a fast-growing medical device manufacturer known for innovation in interventional radiology and biopsy technologies, with brands such as Skater, Option Elite, Scorpion, and BioPince Ultra. But growth brings complexity.
Manual processes were no longer sustainable. Customer requests could take days or weeks to fulfill, and the company was increasingly at risk of falling behind on market access requirements like the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation; the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive; and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). A small compliance team was expected to manage regulatory reporting for tens of thousands of parts, across multiple product lines and acquisitions.
With products sold in over 90 countries and new regulations emerging constantly, Argon needed a way to scale its compliance program without doubling its headcount.

The Results: Faster Response, Lower Costs, Higher Confidence
By centralizing compliance data and automating routine processes, Argon has cut response times by 96%. That’s not just faster — it’s transformative. Tasks that used to tie up resources for days are now handled with a few clicks, allowing the team to focus on strategic work.
Staffing needs have changed too. Without Assent, Argon estimates it would need at least six full-time equivalents to keep up. That represents a 50% reduction in potential manual effort, while improving on both the quality and speed of supplier replies.
Every product Argon makes must meet strict documentation standards before it can be sold or shipped, especially to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and hospitals. In some countries, these certificates are non negotiable: no certificate, no sale. With Assent, Argon can instantly generate and share the documents that keep their products moving and revenue flowing.
For Argon’s R&D team, Assent’s value goes even deeper. By validating material and supplier data early in the design process, R&D can flag regulatory risks before they turn into costly redesigns or delays. Teams confirm chemical composition and regulatory alignment up front, long before a prototype is finalized. That means faster product development, fewer compliance roadblocks, and a stronger return on investment when new innovations go to market. Compliance has become a core part of how Argon Medical operates. It’s not just about staying compliant — it’s about doing business faster, smarter, and more sustainably.
