Predicting Medical Device Product Failures Before Clinical Trials

This video covers our managing director Travis Smith and Arif Iftekhar, VP R&D, discussing the outcome of Square-1 Engineering's recent online poll covering a crucial product development question:

What is the best way to predict medical device product failures on the bench before entering clinical tr​ials?

Other notable comments from this online poll included:
Glen Rabito - Director Engineering: "get real about your pre-DV testing, it's not a check the box exercise.  Perform as much pilot clinical work as time and money allows prior to starting your trial."

Jason Safabash - VP R&D: "Ensure inputs accurately reflect device safety and efficacy requirements and test early/ fail fast and feedback into development to reduce the risk of f​ailures during verification or validation testing."

Jahnavi Lokre - COO: "definition and understanding of clinical user needs is key to the success of a clinical trial.  Couple with a robust risk management process and pre clinical testing will provide confidence on the safety and efficacy of your medical device."
