As a company involved in research and development, pfm medical conducts national and international clinical studies.
In addition to studies examining safety and effectiveness (pre-approval studies), pfm medical also conducts market observation studies. The purpose of these is proving patient benefit as well as the scientific investigation of rare side effects and the long-term effectiveness of our products.
pfm medical publishes all the results from its studies. Only the transparent and complete publication of study results ensures their full benefit to medical research, their contribution to progress and their advantage to patients.
pfm medical places great value to the neutral presentation and evaluation of the results of these studies. In order to meet these requirements, we commission reputable research institutes and work with independent scientists and experts.
International scientific research is regulated by numerous criteria that clinical studies have to comply with. Studies must adhere to a high degree of safety and fulfil certain conditions. Ethical questions are also of importance; for each study, these questions have to be examined by an accredited ethics commission. Pre-approval studies must also be examined by the relevant state regulatory authorities.
