Our Services
From the initial idea to the finished product
Development of medical products
Based on your expectations and our expertise, we develop your product from the initial idea to the final registration.
Verification and Validation
An important part of product development deals with the extensive testing of the medical device for its heart and kidneys (German figure of speech: put sth. to the acid test). Together with you, we develop suitable test strategies for the verification and validation of your medical product. This includes, among other things, analyses of test basis, acceptance criteria and sample size. We accompany you from test planning to test execution and reporting of test results – always with the goal of proving the quality of your medical device.
