About Us
A partner for safer products, more receptive clinicians, and more efficient and effective regulatory submissions.
Med Safety Board (MSB) was created in 2021, specifically to meet medical device, medication-related device, and pharmaceutical manufacturer demand. As an entity powered by both ISMP and ECRI, MSB engages directly with manufacturers of all sizes and at all points along the product life cycle, from conception to approval to in-market. MSB provides the support necessary to bring safer products to market and assist in enhancing products for safety once in-market.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to ensuring the safe use of medical devices and pharmaceuticals by providing expert consulting solutions powered by the experience of ISMP and ECRI.
Leveraging over 50 years of evaluation and error experience from both ISMP and ECRI, MSB has exclusive access to a series of device and pharmaceutical error databases and a team of full-time end-user clinicians and human factors engineers as product safety experts. As a result, MSB is uniquely positioned to offer specialized packaged solutions to life science companies. Together, we are part of one of the largest and most trusted healthcare quality and safety organizations in the world.
What Sets Us Apart
Founded by the Nation’s Leading Medication Safety Organizations
We are the only safety consulting company powered by ISMP and ECRI, a federally designated Patient Safety Organization (PSO). Both organizations are globally recognized authorities in product, medication use, and patient safety. Over 50 years of product safety experience bring the maximum credible support to our clients.
Exclusive Access to Critical Error and Safety Data
Our parent organization operates the ISMP National Medication, Vaccine, and Consumer Errors Reporting Programs (MERP, VERP, CERP). As part of our engagements, we have exclusive access to these data sources, in addition to ECRI-related error reporting programs and alerts. This access ensures the optimal safety outcomes for our clients.
Licensed Clinicians, Credentialled Human Factors Engineers
MSB product safety experts are not simply industry resources; they are experts and product evaluation specialists who work in real-world healthcare environments. Our PharmD, RN, MD, and other healthcare professionals work hand-in-hand with human factors engineers to navigate the complexities of safety challenges within the healthcare environment. The outcome? Safer products, increased receptivity from clinicians, and more complete and effective regulatory applications.
Who We Are

We understand the complexities of real-world healthcare environments and work closely with a network of end-user clinicians to integrate their insights with our expert knowledge. This enables us to provide unparalleled guidance and support to pharmaceutical and medical device companies, helping them optimize product safety and ensure the safe use of their products.
