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.

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.

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.

Chief Product Officer (CPO), Bliksund

"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."

Glen Conway
General Manager UK and CISO, mTuitive Inc.

“We were and continue to be delighted with our interactions with Safehand. From the first email, through to the production of our hazard log, clinical safety workshop and final report we experienced the highest level of professionalism, matched with not only extensive knowledge of the clinical safety issues but real enthusiasm to make our product better. This enthusiasm has led our team to become even more focussed on clinical safety and led to a real organisational change in designing, improving and releasing our code updates. We are looking forward to working with Safehand as we develop and enhance our offering.”

Director of Operations, FDS Dental Referrals

Mobio Interactive is extremely pleased with the diligence and efficiency provided by Safehand. In particular, Natalie Hall has been the Clinical Safety Officer for our digital therapeutic platform AmDTx for over a year. In that time she has guided our team through the entire DCB 0129 certification process, as well as contributing meaningfully to the platform development and overall regulatory and certification strategy. We look forward to an ongoing partnership ensuring the clinical safety of all our digital interventions for mental health and CNS disorders.

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.
