Our process:
Equipment Selection
We support you in choosing the best suited equipment for your application. All our equipment needs to pass a qualification process during which we confirm that the equipment meets all general regulations (legal regulations, medical product regulations etc.), CE conformity documents are in place and whether user training or safety checks are compulsory. Only equipment that passes the qualification process successfully will be released for rental.
Rental
Equipment rental is the most convenient and most cost effective way to provide sites with equipment for clinical trials. With LABFISH you fulfill during the close-out phase all your compliance regulations for the pick up of material from the sites. You can cover your complete demand for equipment with one single vendor. This saves you time and effort. LABFISH is responsible for the devices over the entire runtime and takes care of a quick solution if a problem or even a device failure does occur.
Calibrations
Does your instrument show the right temperature? The right speed? The right weight? During a clinical trial, all obtained data needs to be reliable. When equipment like centrifuges, refrigerators, incubators, balances or data loggers is used, you need to be sure the results are correct. Initial calibrations as well as periodical recalibrations of the equipment is essential. LABFISH offers calibration services for all equipment which includes a comprehensive documentation.
Logistics
Good logistics require expertise. Country-specific provisions as well as choosing the best packaging for the individual piece of equipment is our claim. With our white-glove shipping for heavy or bulky equipment we deliver directly to the point of use, unpack and place the equipment onto the workbench. During close-out, we arrange for the equipment to be picked up and packed for a safe return – let the sites focus on their work and leave the packaging and logistics to us. Logistics in clinical trials is far more than simply shipping a box to the site.
IQ/OQ
Maintaining the correct storage temperature for your medication is critical. So is the proof of it. It is then necessary to guarantee that the refrigerator will hold the temperature at all points within the cooling chamber as well as over time. LABFISH offers an Installation Qualification / Operation Qualification (IQ/OQ) service to meet these requirements. We always plan IQ/OQs in close exchange with your QA division.
Clinical Trial Monitoring Service
From Site ready to go, support with setting up equipment, preparing individual short instructions, technical assistance and training, calibrations and recalibrations up to resupplying sites with ancillaries on demand, LABFISH offers the complete service from beginning to end.
Asset Management
Coordinating clinical trials is a complex task. We support you with our asset management and provide comprehensive overviews of rental equipment including site details and rental periods.
Interim Storage
Plans change – stay flexible with LABFISH. If a site is no longer taking part in the trial or the initiation is delayed, we will store the equipment for you free of charge in our warehouse, ready to be shipped when it is needed. You can also simply move the equipment to a different trial where you have a demand.
Trial Close-Out
During the close-out phase, we make sure you meet all your compliance regulations when the equipment is picked up from the sites.
