COVID-19 Impact on Medical Devices Industry - Thematic Research

Summary

COVID-19 in the medical device Industry

On December 31, 2019, China reported a suspicious case cluster of atypical pneumonia in the city of Wuhan to the World Health Organization (WHO). Since then, the situation developed into an outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), and has been declared a pandemic. As infections spread across the globe, there have been tremendous effects, and the impact on the medical device sector is significant.

COVID-19 caused delays and shortages from the start, and while many aspects of healthcare are returning to normal, some shortages are still happening as a result of the pandemic. At the beginning, many hospitals and healthcare organizations experienced a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks, face shields, gloves, and gowns. Many hospitals were overwhelmed with patients, causing a shortage in beds and ventilators. Several procedures (such as diagnostic imaging and elective surgeries) were put on hold while healthcare workers focused on COVID-19 patients. Medical device companies worked quickly to produce more PPE, COVID-19 tests, and other devices in high demand, while other aspects of the sector suffered significant losses.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
