Statistics and biometrics in clinical studies (medical devices)
Biometric advice under the new requirements of EU Regulation 2017/745 / Medical Device Regulation (MDR)
Contact ACOMED statistics (Tel .: 0341/3910195, email: info @ acomed statistics), if you need support with the planning and implementation of a clinical study for your medical device according to the EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745.
ACOMED statistics offers all statistical or biometric services that you need to conduct clinical studies. ACOMED statistics has extensive and long-term experience for clinical studies in the medical device industry. The requirements for high-quality and statistically adequate planning and analysis of such studies, as required by EU Regulation 2017/745 (Medical Device Regulation (MDR)), have increased significantly. ACOMED works both as a direct contractor and as a subcontractor for CRO. You will find references here.
Medical device manufacturers are often used to carrying out studies with small numbers of cases. The statistics were done with "home remedies". This is usually no longer compatible with the requirements of EU Regulation 2017/745. ACOMED statistics supports you in planning and evaluating your clinical studies under these new requirements of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). ACOMED statistics can also bring in experience in the field of pharmaceutical studies.
