Mitigate risk and remain compliant.
Post marketing surveillance (PMS) is organized to monitor the safety and performance of the product once used by large number of patients in the targeted population, and to ensure a sustainable risk/benefit balance.
Agreements are established with distributors in particular to define the split of regulatory responsibilities between the different stakeholders (Manufacturer/distributor). Promotional materials are developed for each market, in compliance with local regulatory requirements.
Launch, pricing, and reimbursement strategies aim to yield a favorable evidence-based assessment by national authorities, whose priorities and outcome measurement vary across markets.
The medical device’s core value dossier is adapted for local reimbursement applications.
