Important results from the project
The purpose was to with the help of an expert with a unique competence of Medical Device Regulations (MRD) set up quality systems, processes, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and practical ways of working early in the company’s life. The goal was to create a quality system, SOPs and processes that the company will work along for a foreseeable future, and to educate our staff so that we can take the company and the first products to the next level.
Expected long term effects
The effect wass expected to be large for the relatively newly started company that AlgoDx is, by developing quality systems and getting work processes in place. The result is as expected, the work has resulted in us now having the right competence to successfully file CE-mark applications for our future MedTech products, , which in the long run will lead to the possibility of earlier interventions and prevention of life-threatening diseases and more efficient intensive care.
