Ensuring Cost-Effective Large Animal Testing for a Spinal Cord Implant

Introduction: 

Class III products are considered to have the highest risk. They are typically invasive, connecting directly with the central circulatory or nervous system, or may be implantable. These devices require a stringent mandatory compliance assurance process due to the potential high risk associated with their use. Large animal testing plays a crucial role in the development of medical devices, especially for high-risk Class III implants. It ensures safety and efficacy in real-world biological conditions before regulatory approval.
