Members of Biomedical Engineering Consultants, LLC, (BEC) have worked with hospitals, providers of telehealth/telemedicine services, manufacturers, insurance carriers, and law firms supporting litigation for the past thirty five (35) years. BEC has worked with representatives of plaintiffs as well as defendants. BEC provides expert medical device consulting and helps educate attorneys and courts on healthcare technology-related matters. The depth of healthcare technology consulting experience BEC delivers to its customers has been recognized throughout the world. This includes understanding of the complex regulatory requirements, labeling compliance, design and manufacturing, intellectual property processes, the device owner’s role and maintenance obligations, interoperability, networking and the device’s risk management program.
BEC is able to investigate each of the product life stages starting with design considerations, medical device development and manufacturing quality control, and continuing with post-market complaints management and fulfillment of the owner’s responsibilities. Our expert support service provides explanation of the causes in powerful and clear language to both judge and jury.
BEC experience is extremely useful in intellectual property litigation strategy, where product evolution and the strength of a competitor’s patent can determine the validity of the claims. A “novelty search,” one that helps determine the state of patent claims’ novelty, has been successfully performed by BEC and produced evidence that muted the alleged infringement that was claimed. The knowledge state of prior art by “person skilled in the art” is additional critical information that BEC and its associates can deliver for cases involving medical products.
BEC offers its biomedical engineering consulting services to clients from Houston, Pasadena, Pearland, League City and Cypress, Texas.
