Our services

We provide strategic consulting services in connection with medical device approval as well as best-in-class expertise within clinical trial management (Qmed is a full service CRO), regulatory affairs, quality management and reimbursement and market access.

Clinical trial management

CRO services have played a pivotal role at Qmed Consulting since 2006, encompassing more than 500 successfully completed studies across all device classes.

Pre-market approval studies (worldwide)

Pre-market clinical investigations are meticulously designed and orchestrated to confirm the safety and performance (or efficacy) of medical devices, including clinical claims identified in the Clinical Evaluation process, using pertinent outcome measures.

Post-market approval studies

Post-market clinical investigations are conducted subsequent to the market approval of a medical device. Their purpose is to validate the device's safety and performance (or efficacy) while addressing specific additional inquiries that may arise.

Strategic Consultancy

At Qmed, we provide Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance services throughout all stages of your medical device projects, starting from the inception of device development to the final product’s market presence.
