Choose the right perspective
Match the person's device type and markets to yours, since reporting rules and complaint volumes differ between capital equipment, implants and software, and between the US and EU. Also consider whether you need someone who built a function from scratch or someone who ran and improved an established one.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide whether a complaint is reportable, and how do you keep those decisions consistent across a team?
- 02How do you use complaint and trend data to spot a safety signal early?
- 03What changed in your post-market surveillance process to meet EU MDR, and what would you do differently?
