EFS/FIH Perspectives Report

In 2015, the MDIC formed a working group which commissioned an Early Feasibility (EFS)/First-in-Human Industry (FIH) Industry Perspectives survey of key medical device industry stakeholders. This EFS/FIH Perspectives survey was the first milestone in an ongoing effort to understand the attitudes and beliefs within the medical device ecosystem towards EFS programs in the U.S., and to ultimately facilitate an increase in the number of EFS projects initiated in the U.S.
