MedTech Roundup

In the first months of the new year, people are often looking for a change. There are three common changes in the minds of many professionals, including lifestyle, working environment and potentially, employment. 

If you are a Registered Nurse (RN) interested in opportunities away from traditional bedside care, Novasyte can offer all of those things. Novasyte partners with medical device companies to assist them with a variety of product commercialization services, including product education. Today, we hire hundreds of RNs as Clinical Nurse Educators. They travel the country and teach their fellow nurses how to safely use new, cutting-edge technologies.

Field actions happen; even to the most diligent organizations.

Organizations across the medical device manufacturing industry understand this as a sharp reality. Over the last decade, however, product recalls have substantially increased and are reaching record highs. Over 208 million devices were recalled in the beginning of 2018, more than the total number of recalled devices in all of 2017.

It is easy to fall into the rhythm of receiving multiple spreadsheets from various sources – be it sales, regulatory, marketing or quality – and by having them in one place, feeling like the recall is “under control.” In working with more than half of the largest med-tech companies globally, Novasyte has discovered this is a common theme.

Despite the commonality of this approach, there are inherent associated risks with managing a recall across multiple spreadsheets. Here are the top four.
