"ISS AG supported us in the planning and submission of a clinical study with an innovative Class III implant in cardiology. We were always closely involved in the preparation of all technical and clinical study documents for a children's study in which the product was used in humans for the first time. ISS AG also supported us in a professional manner in the preparation of a comprehensive ISO14791-compliant risk management file. ISS AG's expertise has led our project to lasting success. Because ISS AG was able to respond to our needs according to the situation, we went through a steep learning curve."
Stefan Leinweber, Head of Quality Management, Zimmer MedizinSysteme GmbH
"ISS AG has been our partner for clinical assessments and Q-support for many years.

Even at tasks scheduled at very short notice, ISS AG proved to be a flexible and reliable partner with high quality standards. ISS AG also conducted internal audits at our company. The external view helped us to continuously improve our QMS, the audits were well prepared, took place in a pleasant atmosphere and, thanks to the great experience of the auditors, were very educational for our employees."

We strongly recommend their services!"
Dr. med./ med. dent. Arno König, Ceramic Solutions AG

With great expertise, ISS AG has contributed to our CE certification and proved to be a very fair business partner."
Patrick und Sandra Kugelmeier, Founders of Kugelmeiers AG
"We conducted a workshop on the subject of Clinical & Regulatory Strategy at ISS AG. We were very impressed with the careful preparation and felt very well accompanied by Mr. Weber. Leaving the workshop, we saw things much more clearly. Highly recommended."
Beat Spalinger, Delegate of the Board of Directors and CEO, Belimed AG
"In a highly complex project, we implemented a parallel transfer of production sites and concentration on a legal manufacturer. This required the international re-registration of our entire product portfolio in around 70 countries, for which ISS was responsible. At the same time, an early recertification of our QM system took place at 4 international sites. Deadline and budget could be kept. This joint effort led to a sustainable streamlining of approvals and a reduction in audit effort. At the same time, we have outsourced the operational RA activities to ISS, as our resource requirements fluctuate greatly in this area. ISS can react flexibly to this. This has further relieved the burden on our organization. The cooperation is very good and professional at all times."
Daniel Längle, CEO & Co-Founder, 1nfusion AG
„We had a workshop about the regular strategy for our MedTech startup and were very happy with how Mr. Riedwyl handled the session. It was a very open, highly interesting and informative dialogue, giving us precious insights and helping us to set up our regulatory strategy to reach certification. The know-how of ISS with the open attitude of the team, listening to us as customers, was perfect for getting the information we need on our next steps. Thanks to Hansjörg Riedwyl and his team.”

„The ISS company has supported us target-oriented and competently in international regulatory questions.”
Ralf Schumacher, CEO, Co-Founder MIMEDIS AG
„For any Medtech company, and especially for startups, regulatory affairs are topics which are absolutely essential but not easy to deal with. All these directives, paragraphs and standards reveal details which are easily underestimated and could potentially have a huge impact on strategic steps towards selling medical devices on different markets. Our company took a good opportunity by attending this 'regulatory affairs strategy workshop'. We could benefit from thematic inputs of regulatory experts but also from exchanging experiences with other companies along with this workshop. Many thanks to i-net and to ISS.”
Michael Kirsch, Manager Process & Validation Engineering der Zimmer GmbH
„With profound knowledge, pragmatic solutions and a consistently high level of quality, the ISS AG provided a great and valuable service for us in our daily operation, for the qualification of GMP relevant manufacturing.

Susanne Dröscher, PhD, Co-CEO, caru AG Zürich
"As a young company, we wanted to clarify at an early stage whether we would be classified as a medical device with our planned product functions. The competent advice provided by ISS not only answered this question, but also gave us the necessary understanding to be able to carry out such an initial assessment independently in the future. Very recommendable!"
Dr. phil. nat. Priska Vonbach, MSc ETH Pharm. Wiss., CEO, PEDeus AG
"ISS AG made a significant contribution to the fact that we were able to achieve CE approval for our "PEDeDose" software. In close cooperation with us, ISS AG developed our "PEDeDose" software according to our specifications as a medical device and also supplied the technical documentation. It amazed me again and again how the employees of ISS AG dealt with the high complexity and implemented our requirements regarding data management, calculator, website and web service with great competence. A big compliment to the developers, the project management and the Q-Team!"

Florian Kübler, Senior Clinical Research Associate, AVA AG
"As part of a postgraduate diploma, a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in the field of clinical trial management, I was able to complete a one-week internship at ISS AG in Biel in spring 2018. In addition to a holistic view of the daily services in the world of medical devices, I have gained a deeper insight into the clinical services department. I have been impressed by how systematically work is performed here without missing the human component. The insights into various SOPs, monitoring plans, and the internal eCRF were very exciting for me. I really appreciate the good atmosphere and the nice way of collaboration in the company. I am convinced that all these are responsible for the excellent work that is carried out here."

The demonstration of options for the obtaining of the market access was directive for the arrangement of the project plan.”
Vice President, Ophthalmology Company
„The statistical analysis of our manufacturing process performed by ISS helped us to focus corrective actions, and to provide a strong rationale for the effects of process changes for submission to FDA.”
Development Engineer, Ophthalmology Company
„The competent consulting by ISS through the planning, execution and analysis of a complex study comparing five measurement systems helped us to optimise the efforts of the data collection as well as to attain the relevant information immediately.

„Without the intensive support of ISS it would have hardly been possible for us to keep the essential ISO certification in the difficult situation after a partial sale.”
Dr. Benjamin Reinmann, CEO Mathys Ltd Bettlach
„ISS supported us in a due diligence of a medical device software manufacturer. On the one hand, ISS evaluated the maturity and robustness of the systems and the team regarding SW development, but also the QMS and the toolchain. On the other hand, the costs and timelines for the integration were estimated. The extensive know-how in the areas of medical device software development, Q/RA/clinicals and technical documentation under MDR could be impressively brought into the evaluation by ISS and was a very helpful assessment for the potential acquisition."
