At the completion of project planning, innovators have determined what work is required to take the technology from prototype to product. The Design and Development…
Preclinical evaluations are often the best way to assess a medical product’s performance, and regulatory bodies often require preclinical data in product submissions.

Oftentimes, they help determine whether adverse events were device related. Laboratory veterinarians that write preclinical veterinary reports rely on pathologists to help explain some in-life clinical observations. Regulatory guidance documents also require that preclinical protocols…
