Certainty from Planning to the Final Report

IVD Study Management & Monitoring with TRIGA-S

TRIGA-S supports your study management from planning through the final report. You will receive audit- and submission-ready study documentation in compliance with ISO 20916, IVDR, and CFR.

All our services can be booked individually or as a complete package – precisely according to your needs.

Your Benefits with TRIGA-S

Regulatory Confidence from Day One

Your study meets all current requirements: ISO 20916:2024, IVDR, and CFR. We know the pitfalls and proactively eliminate them.

Audit-Proof Data Quality

Complete, traceable documentation (TMF/eTMF), risk-based monitoring, and real-time dashboards give you continuous oversight and data integrity that stands up to any audit.

Faster Market Access

Structured data collection forms, careful site selection before study start, and thorough preparations by our well-coordinated team shorten setup times and minimize rework.

On-Time Delivery

We identify risks early, preventing unnecessary project delays. This keeps your processes predictable and avoids costly surprises.

Study Design & Planning

Getting it right from the start makes all the difference. A well-conceived, scientifically sound study design based on current literature and regulatory requirements is the foundation for your success.

We integrate data collection, monitoring, and analysis into one streamlined workflow for these study types:

  • Exploratory Study
  • Feasibility Study
  • Sample Collection Study
  • Analytical Performance Study
  • Clinical Performance Study
  • Companion Diagnostics (CDx) Study
  • Usability Study
  • Post-Market Performance Follow-up (PMPF) Study

“Across all study types, we apply risk-based planning and oversight to proactively address critical aspects – optimising resource use and ensuring smooth processes that keep your studies moving forward efficiently.”

Study Preparation

A study’s success is not determined at the point of evaluation – it is shaped long before the first sample analysis. Our preparation sets the foundation for efficient execution and regulatory acceptance, while systematically reducing follow-up questions from authorities and ethics committees.

We create all necessary documents according to current standards – compliant, complete, and in time for a smooth study start.

Study Protocols
Analytical and Clinical Performance Study Plans (APSP/CPSP) with objectives, endpoints, and procedures
Ethics and Legal Requirements
All essential documents including site agreements, patient information, and informed consent forms (ICFs)
GDPR-Compliant Data Capture
Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) in validated EDC systems on GDPR-compliant servers in Germany and the EU
Data Management
Tailored, transparent Data Management Plan (DMP) as a reliable framework – with clear roles and responsibilities, defined data flows, data validation (capture and processing), and quality assurance
Regulatory Approvals
Submission of all documents to ethics committees, national and international authorities for approvals without unnecessary back-and-forth

Site Selection and Management

A study only succeeds with sites that truly fit your requirements. That’s why structured site management matters – ensuring reliable site selection and hands-on support at every stage.

While protocols and regulations form the foundation, the people and processes on site determine recruitment, data quality, and ultimately the study’s success.

We support you from site identification to the final study report, ensuring you have the right partners on board.

We identify the right study sites for your clinical performance study based on the target group, geographical requirements, and professional specializations.

We systematically assess equipment, resources, and capacity to ensure each site meets your requirements.

We ensure recruitment, sample flows, and data quality across all sites.

Our CRAs (Clinical Research Associates) ensure compliance through close contact with study sites and targeted on-site visits.

Study Monitoring

Monitoring ensures data quality and regulatory compliance. With TRIGA-S, you maintain an overview of your study data at all times.

What our monitoring expertise covers:

We define the scope, frequency, and priorities of monitoring activities – risk-based, targeted, and efficient.

We manage your Trial Master Files (TMF/eTMF) and ensure a complete, auditable documentation set.

Our site initiation, monitoring, and close-out visits ensure compliance and data quality at each site.

We verify that collected data accurately reflect the source data – fully audit-ready.

We provide ongoing support for your data capture system, perform plausibility checks and data cleaning, ensuring high data quality and rapid query resolution.

Dashboards provide real-time status on recruitment, completeness, and deviations.

Reduce workload and errors by delegating data capture for clearly defined components (central laboratory data, logistics data, transcription, data imports) to our team – including training and support for study sites to shorten turnaround times.

“With over ten years of experience, I know firsthand: overlooking one critical detail in the planning phase can send your regulatory strategy off course – and the effects can ripple through the entire process. At TRIGA-S, we set the right course early on: with structured planning and meticulous attention to detail.”

– Dr. Stefanie Gaupp, Team Lead Study Management

Study Completion and Reporting

Studies do not end with the last measurement. We close them properly – database closure, final verified datasets, and a Performance Study Report suitable for technical documentation. The result: a strong basis for conformity assessment, audits, and post-market activities.

Our deliverables include:

  • Performance Study Report in accordance with regulatory requirements for your technical documentation
  • Database Closure with final, verified datasets
  • Full traceability across all processes – audit- and inspection-ready
