"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."

We approached Safehand to provide the Clinical Safety guidance required to achieve DCB0129 compliance. We found Richard to be very approachable and professional, guiding us through the process in a clear and structured way. His expertise was instrumental in helping us navigate the complexities of the DCB0129 framework with confidence. Safehand acted as a trusted partner, and we are very grateful for their assistance in enabling us to achieve this critical milestone.

As a leading supplier of critical Emergency and non-emergency Ambulance systems, our focus is always to deliver clinically safe and compliant systems and functionality to our customers. In partnership with the expert and knowledgeable team at Safehand, we have been able to ensure compliance with DCB0129 across all our platforms. The team at Safehand have a unique understanding of the challenges that supplier organisations face in the ever-challenging digital world. Their approach is one of collaborative working, creating all the required documentation, providing clear and constructive feedback and advice, and supporting the overall process as a critical friend. Understanding that Clinical Safety is an on-going process, Safehand are now further supporting us with embedding Clinical Safety into the heart of our culture.

When we contacted Safehand early in 2023, we needed help with the complexities of DCB0129. Safehand has proven to be an excellent partner to work with. Small companies like us find it difficult to find the resources to manage compliance and Safehand have accomplished this for us and ensured that our processes are up to the mark. Many thanks Adrian and Lucy.

Safehand has been a trusted advisor and partner in our DCB0129 compliance process, as well as in providing broader guidance on software as a medical device for Bliksund EWA, our digital record solution for emergency professionals. Their team has demonstrated deep expertise, offering clear and pragmatic advice that integrates seamlessly into our operational approach. Their reliability and ability to simplify complex regulatory requirements have made the entire process smooth and efficient. Safehand's knowledge, professionalism, and practical mindset make them a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend them to any organisation navigating the landscape of medical regulations and software.

Working with Safehand has been a pleasure from first contact with their Managing Director regarding developing a suite of documentation to ensure compliance with DCB0129 to our ongoing relationship with our Clinical Safety Officer contracted via Safehand. They not only have an excellent understanding of the legislative requirements, but have broad experience and knowledge of the healthcare sector which has helped us painlessly navigate our way through what is a complex process and requirement.

The experience held by Safehand and their clear expertise in clinical safety and health tech has been fundamental in reaching DCB0129 compliance.  Safehand’s impact has been much wider than just compliance, it has woven clinical safety into all aspects of our product design, development, delivery and support. Safehand’s ability to rapidly understand the product, and how it is utilised in the real world is refreshing. The expertise brought by the team at Safehand has brought benefits not only to our organisation but every customer who uses an Inform Health product.

I would like to take the time to commend Safehand in general, and particularly Oyinkan for an outstanding job in helping the HomeSight solution get to DCB 0129 compliance satisfactorily. Oyinkan was thorough, and exercised awesome due diligence during the entire process, and the remarkable thing is that through her logical thought process and presenting material, always with “why an evidence, or control, or a process is required”, helped us to refine our thinking to bring in a “Clinical Safety” mindset and angle to whatever we do. While we had to work harder to fill the gaps in our documentation, processes and test scripts, we were doing it with vigour knowing that all these contribute to a stronger solution that can stand proud in the market.

Oyinkan is an absolute asset, and a real pleasure to work with. She put us at ease, while politely being firm on the requirements as should be the case. We are happy to retain her as the CSO and we are very pleased with Safehand in terms of the engagement.

When we first started looking at DCB0129 compliance I didn’t know whether to think “this looks really simple, what’s the problem” or ” this is so complicated I don’t know how we can manage it”. On our first contact with Safehand, it turns out I was right on both counts. It is really complex! And then we met Lucy, our CSO. Right from the start, she worked with us to break the complicated process of a Clinical Safety Review of our BEST system down into simple bite-sized chunks. Her expert eye was able to separate the important from the trivial and then put in place a process that allowed us to address the requirements of the Standard in a logical way that made it easy to understand what was needed. We now have a Hazard Log that identifies the Clinical Risks, demonstrates the controls we have in place to mitigate these, and an excellently-written Clinical Safety Case report. Not only has Lucy enabled us to meet DCB0129, but also given us insight into how we can work in the future to further improve our products.

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.
