Message from the President
Congratulations to our client, Natus Medical, on the launch of its newest hearing screening product, the Echo-Screen® III hearing screener. The innovative product was launched outside the United States in the summer with FDA clearance expected later this year.
Our lead article explores the similartities and differences between launching in the U.S. or Europe. Vincent Crabtree brings particular insight based upon his experiences as a UK-based medical device company CTO.
We speak and write frequently to help medical device entrepreneurs succeed. 2 of our 3 blogs this month are from first-time StarFish bloggers-- and all have been well received and highly shared. Recent guest article links are included below as well as upcoming speaking engagements.
It is a special pleasure to see our May 2013 RoHS article for Medical Device Summit is still among their most popular reads.
As always, we thank you for reading.
Scott Phillips

This article attempts to highlight 5 similarities and differences in order help those unfamiliar with CE marking effectively prioritize their regulatory efforts.
