The unforeseen onset of the COVID-19 decelerated the breakthrough strides of the medical devices sector, but even amidst the pandemic, the rise of ground-breaking devices continued to revolutionize care delivery. Today, medical device manufacturers and healthcare service providers find themselves in a tight spot due to the emergence of complex regulatory requirements and ever-evolving customer needs. They face the challenge of introducing new and improved products to the market while adhering to the highest quality standards and regulations, which is driving the need for testing and certification partners that can reliably ensure product compliance and enable faster go-to-market times.As one of the most trending medical devices, wearables undergo a plethora of tests like electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) or specific absorption rate before they are verified and validated for use. Manufacturers must also ensure that their wearables meet the stringent safety, quality, and performance standards set by regulatory entities. Another key aspect gaining significance in the current medical device marketplace is packaging. Firms working to package medical devices have to ensure that products have accurate labeling that displays their information for use. For consumer-based devices, packagers have to pass a series of FDA-mandated certifications and testing to ensure compliant and effective protection from environmental variables.In this edition of MedTech Outlook, we present to you some of the most promising medical device testing and certification companies. The edition features thought leadership articles from Myriam Curet, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Intuitive, Joe Kimura, Chief Medical Officer at Atrius Health, and Mike VanDerwerken, Director of Pharmacy at Saratoga Hospital.
