A healthcare company sought to compare their injection device with comparable ones on the market in order to determine if it is considered “state-of-the-art.”
Compare a device in development against market competitors
Challenge
A pharmaceutical company wanted to determine whether their device met state-of-the-art criteria described by standards by comparing it with comparable devices currently on the market.
Approach
We conducted an expert review of the devices to determine how the company’s injection device compared to other injection devices. The goal of this review was to determine whether the device has novel features and its user interface components are consistent with competitor devices currently on the market.
Outcome
We compiled a report comparing the company’s injectable medication device against market competitors. The user interface, carton packaging, instructions for use, use steps, intended use, and operating principle were examined, and it was found that the device is considered state-of-the-art.
