As an emerging digital agency venturing into healthcare software products, we found ourselves trying to navigate the complexities of the world of Clinical Safety and DCB0129 compliance. Safehand has proved to be an invaluable partner in this journey. Their meticulous approach and commitment to understanding our product ensures our compliance is robust and fit for purpose. Our nominated CSO, Lisa, guides us every step of the way, instilling the utmost confidence in us. We highly recommend Safehand for their professionalism, dedication, and expertise.

We found Safehand to be an excellent organisation to work with when completing our DCB0129. They demonstrated their experience and a breadth and depth of knowledge, which when coupled with their ability to communicate complicated issues clearly, made what could have been a difficult process very manageable. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any other organisation looking for a competent CSO.

"Safehand have been invaluable helping us meet the clinical safety documentation requirements for our expansion in the UK market. From beginning to the end, they explained every aspect of the process and took steps to ensure that we were fully aware of why we were producing each deliverable. Following a well-designed, well delivered plan, it was as much an educational experience as a consulting engagement. We are delighted with our interaction with Safehand and a special thank you to our CSO for a tremendous job."

When we first contacted Safehand in 2020, we knew that we needed a partner for our DCB0129 and Medical Device efforts in order to be successful. Safehand has proven to be a 10/10 partner to work with. They have been able to leverage much of the compliance workload that is difficult for a small company such as us to manage. This has enabled us to learn and progress a lot faster than otherwise would have been possible. Thanks Adrian and Eric.

Working with Safehand has been both rewarding and informative, their continued support in ensuring Medilogik EMS continues to comply with its DCB0129 requirements. Their level of detail in understanding our platform and the fast-paced requirement of improving clinical reporting is invaluable to keeping our product current, this is testament to them supplying a CSO who understands the service requirements.

Our Safehand Clinical Safety Officer, Hadi, provided professional and enthusiastic support to add DCB0129 compliance to Optellum’s lung cancer AI medical device. We were very pleased with the quality of the documents Hadi produced, and the speed and efficiency with which they were delivered. We look forward to Safehand’s ongoing support for getting our product to the UK market.

We reached out to Safehand to support us with our regulatory readiness for our new category of remote patient monitoring solutions. We have been consistently impressed with the level of expertise within the Safehand team, their deep knowledge of the regulatory environment and the ability to develop clear and comprehensive assessments from often complex product requirements and functionality.

EIDO Healthcare have a history of providing high quality patient information to support informed consent in NHS and private hospitals. When we expanded into the digital healthcare space, we thought that Clinical Safety was something we could do ourselves…how wrong we were! Luckily we asked Safehand for help and they appointed Natalie as our Clinical Safety Officer. She expertly guided us through the DCB0129 process with extensive regulatory knowledge, rationality and common sense. We have a retained services agreement with Safehand and enjoy having a CSO on our team.
