MESM

Medical equipment sourcing for clinical trials

MESM has a wide range of ready-to-ship products, including blood gas analysers, blood pressure monitors, electrocardiogram (ECG) machines, medical centrifuges, infusion pumps and low-temperature freezers and refrigerators. The firm also sources non-standard equipment as required.

MESM aims to identify suitable equipment for each individual study, taking into account clinical outcomes and the need to minimise patient attrition rates.

Supplying equipment to clinical study sites worldwide

MESM supports clinical trials in more than 80 countries worldwide, including multi-site and international studies. It is experienced in country-specific regulations, and the import and export of medical equipment and ancillaries.

The company’s account-tracking technology anticipates each customer’s requirements to ensure efficient resupply of medical equipment with optimal expiry dates.

Servicing and calibration of clinical trial equipment

MESM’s servicing and calibration offerings ensure a study runs smoothly and meets its objectives.

The company’s technicians provide services such as pre-shipment configuration, emergency callouts, annual calibration and regular servicing, ensuring that all medical equipment arrives at clinical trial sites on-time and customers have access to 24/7 support.

End-of-study equipment removal and clinical trial reporting

MESM collects all rented and unwanted purchased equipment for decontamination, disposal or recycling at the end of a clinical trial.

The company helps trial managers gather all information required to meet reporting regulations, as well as provide comprehensive Sunshine reporting packs.

Consultation and clinical trial management services

MESM advises clinical trial organisers on the best equipment to aid participant recruitment and retention in trials across different therapy areas.

This includes a selection of point-of-care testing devices to reduce travel requirements for participants, and the demonstration of how the latest continuous glucose monitoring technology can lift the burden on patients taking part in a diabetes trial.
