Exclusive content proved most popular this week on MPO's website.
While not up to the task of dethroning the Top 30 Companies report, both magazine columns and online exclusives outperformed breaking news items (apparently, Dexcom's G7 CGM and Google Cloud's latest release were not of interest to cybervisitors).
The digital traffic drivers were narratives about a new COVID-19 test and cleaning validation changes. The new coronavirus test, developed by Belgian researchers, aims to reliably identify positive cases at the point of care. Contrary to existing solutions based on saliva or a nasopharyngeal swab, the new test directly samples viral particles in one’s exhaled breath—making a potential assay for infectiousness and highly convenient for frequent (even daily) and widespread use.
Nelson Labs Principal Scientist Alpa Patel garnered pageviews with a detailed account of AAMI's first cleaning validation standard for medical device manufactures. The new standard replaces AAMI TIR30 and provides guidance and recommendations for manufacturers on ways they can design a validation plan to address their processing instructions, which must be specified in their instructions for use (IFU).
Magazine columns of interest included a piece on leveraging digital assistants to supercharge employee training, an explanatory report on the benefits of healthcare's digitization, and an item discussing the value of human factors enginnering in the medtech space. The columns are from MPO's October issue.
