Metecon is a trusted regulatory compliance partner for medical device and IVD manufacturers. As one of the first consulting firms in the MedTech industry to focus on digitalization, Metecon recognized early the potential of specialized software solutions and has been familiar with MedBoard for many years.
Today, this expertise helps manufacturers integrate MedBoard into their regulatory workflows, making processes faster, more reliable, and more transparent. Sabine Schumann-Hahn, Team Lead Post-Market Surveillance at Metecon GmbH, shared with us their experience in the adoption of MedBoard.

Turning Post-Market Surveillance Challenges into Opportunities
For manufacturers, Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) activities such as literature searches and Field Safety Corrective Action (FSCA) tracking are among the most time-consuming and data-heavy regulatory tasks. The real challenge lies not in finding information, but in identifying and assessing what’s truly relevant to a specific medical device or IVD.
“Database research for Literature and Field-Safety-Corrective-Actions (FSCAs) is one of the most important and time-consuming tasks during Post-Market Surveillance as well as clinical or performance evaluation.
The real challenge is not just identifying hits, but selecting and assessing the data that is truly relevant to a specific medical device or IVD. Manufacturers often spend a great deal of time sifting through results and end up with too little time for the crucial evaluation step. At Metecon, we support our clients in overcoming exactly these challenges.
Therefore we started looking for digital solutions that would make their processes faster, more reliable, and more focused.“
