YOUR DESIGN · OUR MOTOR
A PERFECT FIT CUSTOM MOTOR MANUFACTURING If the motor you need does not yet exist, we’ll bring it into existence. Nippon Pulse manufactures custom • tin-can steppers • synchronous motors
• linear steppers • linear servos
to meet your application’s exact specifications.
Best practices There are a few things that medical device companies should keep in mind: 1. Familiarize yourself with adaptive design and determine if it’s appropriate for your study. 2. Partner with organizations and groups that have the knowledge and the expertise in adaptive design. 3. Start early. The whole point of being able to adapt is that it’s planned. The process requires valid, statistical methodology. You have to plan very early to incorporate adaptive elements into trial design. 4. Work with strategists who have validated software that’s accepted by the regulatory bodies. This can help ease the conversation by ensuring everyone is approaching the nomenclature and statistical algorithms from the same platform.
IN LIGHT OF THE BENEFITS, REGULATORS ARE SURPRISED THAT ADAPTIVE DESIGNS ARE UNDERUTILIZED BY INDUSTRY.
Adaptive design is a way of looking ahead and understanding, using a valid statistical approach, where trial designers may need to adapt in order to reach the end goal. That end goal includes reaching valid end points and providing data to regulators to move the product to market. Adaptive design offers a way for device companies to plan for changes of direction in device trials. As device companies start using it more we will see more products that have reached the market at an accelerated entry due to incorporation of adaptive design.
