CRITICAL RESPONSE: ENSURING MEDICAL DEVICE SAFETY

We are proud to partner with 7/10 of the world’s leading medical device brands.

Medical devices play a pivotal role in patient care, but they also harbor inherent risks. Their criticality underscores the need for manufacturers to prioritize immediate and effective responses to any safety concerns. Failure to act promptly not only jeopardizes patient well-being but also amplifies the reputational and financial fallout.

Continuous surveillance and stringent quality safety protocols are indispensable. Manufacturers must remain vigilant, conducting ongoing evaluations to swiftly identify emerging issues. Proactive monitoring allows for timely interventions, averting potential risks to patient health while mitigating the broader impact on the company’s reputation and viability in the industry.

Since 1995, we’ve partnered with the world’s leading medical device brands to develop, test and execute over 7,000 product recall and remediation programs across 100 countries and 50 languages.

Whether you’re planning for — or currently facing — a product recall, market withdrawal or any other in-market product incident, our experts are on hand to support you.

PRODUCT RECALL MANAGEMENT FOR DEVICE MANUFACTURERS

Expert guidance in developing, testing, and executing comprehensive product recall plans.

The threat posed by medical device failures to patient well-being necessitates manufacturers maintain vigilant monitoring. As the industry evolves, emerging risks such as cyber-attacks targeting connected devices underscore the crucial need for robust recall readiness and swift corrective action to address device vulnerabilities.

Alongside cyber threats, a myriad of other risks including mounting supply chain pressures, enhanced pathogen detection, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and the growing influence of digital health have contributed to a 6.5% increase in global device recalls in the past 5 years.

With three decades of industry experience, we are uniquely qualified to address the most intricate of medical device product recalls and corrective actions. Whether navigating complex regulatory demands and compliance specifications, orchestrating seamless patient notification and response programs, or managing product retrieval, field repair or device destruction – we have the experience to help.
