About Upfront Diagnostics

In 2022, QbD Group partnered with Upfront Diagnostics, powered by PockitDx, a company specializing in stroke detection caused by Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO).

Upfront Diagnostics enlisted QbD Group’s expertise to achieve IVDR compliance for the LVOne. This innovative device can detect an acute stroke within 15 minutes, enabling swift patient transfer to specialist medical facilities. This rapid intervention not only saves lives and prevents disabilities but also significantly reduces medical treatment costs.

Challenge

Achieving IVDR compliance & ISO 13485 certification

 

Upfront reached out to QbD Group for comprehensive support in implementing all aspects of the In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR), as well as their Quality Management System (QMS) and their pursuit of ISO 13485 certification.

As Upfront Diagnostics was still in the early stages of development, we made a concerted effort to be deeply involved, ensuring that their IVDR compliance journey began right from the initial design and development phases.
