Managing Urgent Escalations for Critical Device Issues

Introduction

Managing urgent escalations for critical device issues is crucial for clinical site teams to ensure continuity and integrity of data collection during studies utilizing Koneksa solutions. This guide provides clear and professional instructions to help clinical coordinators, clinicians, and technical staff respond promptly and effectively to such incidents.

Immediate Actions for Urgent Escalations

When a critical device issue arises during a clinical study, follow these immediate steps to initiate an urgent escalation:

1. Contact Koneksa Clinic Site Support immediately through the designated emergency support channels provided to your study site during setup.
2. Provide a detailed description of the issue, including device model, problem nature, any error messages displayed, and how it is impacting study data collection.
3. Follow the support team's instructions closely for any recommended troubleshooting steps or temporary workarounds to mitigate data loss or downtime.
4. Document all communications, actions taken, and observed outcomes for internal records and study audit purposes.
5. If the issue is not resolved promptly, escalate further according to your internal escalation protocols shared during training sessions.

Additional Guidelines and Best Practices

• Ensure that all clinical site staff are familiar with the emergency support contact information and escalation procedures before study initiation.
• Maintain clear and prompt communication within your team and with Koneksa Clinic Site Support to facilitate swift resolution.
• Keep device firmware and software updated according to Koneksa recommendations to minimize risk of critical failures.
• Review and practice your internal escalation workflows periodically to ensure rapid response readiness.
