Waltham, MA, March 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Medical Development Group announces its Wednesday, April 4, 2012 Forum entitled “Pre-clinical Testing: What We Need to Know for Device Development.” Device development demands precise, reproducible animal models with quantifiable metrics. This session will review different scenarios for effectively using pre-clinical testing as a basis for getting regulatory approval for clinical (human) testing.
