Before starting your research and testing, please remember the following:

Research plan

Research authorisation from the organisation where the research is carried out.

Ethical review

The HUS Regional Medical Research Ethics Committee evaluates and issues opinions on medical and health-scientific research conducted at HUS and in the Southern Finland cooperation area that is subject to the Research Act. A fee is charged for the Ethical review.

This is needed if testing is done with volunteer participants.

For more information on Ethical review: https://tenk.fi/en/ethical-review

Medical Devices?

In addition to ventilators or defibrillators, which are traditionally thought of as medical devices, medical devices also include several devices found at home, for example blood pressure monitor, sticking plasters, glasses, hearing aid or condoms. Medical devices also include, for example, eye drops intended for moistening the eyes or cold gel used for muscle pain. Pregnancy and laboratory tests are so-called in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices.

It will take about 21 days to process, after which we will contact the customer. Please remember to mention in the contact form if your schedule is busier. Please note that the contract process may take some time. It takes about 4 weeks for the researcher to prepare the Ethical review, depending on whether all the material is available. After that, HUS will process the Ethical review in about 4-8 weeks.

Our services are subject to a fee and here are some sample prices for projects. Each project is unique and tailored to the client's needs.
