How TecEx Services the Medical Sector

With the outbreak of Covid-19 highlighting the import difficulties faced when conducting clinical trials, TecEx has been pushing to find a way to help. Our services for the medical sector are the result of these efforts.  

The TecEx medical IOR service focuses specifically on streamlining the import process for Clinical Trials. With several top CROs (Clinical Research Organizations) and Sponsors already using our services, we aim to provide a risk-free solution. We effectively handle the shipping process and simplify imports for medical trials.   

Complexities of Medical Imports

As in the world of IT, importing all the necessary equipment required for IOR for clinical trials is a complex process.

There are many barriers preventing those in the medical sphere from developing fully competent, internal global compliance teams.

This has resulted in a reliance on entities that lack the knowledge necessary to effectively act as IOR which places these businesses at extreme risk.   

Range of Goods

The most prominent of the complications is the diversity of the goods required for a clinical trial. Importing these requires detailed knowledge of a vast range of licensing and legal requirements. Without using an experienced and knowledgeable IOR, it could lead to some severe complications when trying to import goods.

Improper IOR

Historically, goods are imported using a local hospital or under the CRO or Sponsor’s name. These entities often lack the knowledge necessary to perform the IOR role. This places vast amounts of risk and responsibility on these entities and can often lead to complications for the company trying to import these goods.

Frequent Delays

Even the smallest of errors by the IOR can lead to considerable delays. Import delays are common for clinical trials as the entity acting as the importer is not fully equipped for the role. The consequences of this can be catastrophic for the efficacy and cost of the trial.  

The TecEx Solution

We use our extensive knowledge of international import compliance to offer a hassle-free, reduced-risk option for CROs and Sponsors.
