Medical Device Clinical Investigation challenges
• Medical Device studies face unique challenges compared to their pharmaceutical counterparts: • Inability to blind patient and/or practitioner • Absence of comparators and placebos except for “sham” • “Learning curve” effect for practitioners using new devices • Operator variability • Device trial design and selection of endpoints (often complex and/or subjective) • Malfunctions of device mechanisms
