SafeSignals
Independent safety intelligence that alerts your team to hazards and product risk to protect patients.
The Safety Science Behind Every Signal
When a product hazard, recall, or emerging safety concern enters healthcare, time matters. Powered by more than 50 years of independent, nonprofit safety expertise, ECRI SafeSignals alerts organizations to product risks before they reach the bedside. Every signal is reviewed, verified, and enriched with clinical context — delivering not just a notification, but the insight needed to assess risk, prioritize action, and respond with confidence.
Earlier Detection. Smarter Response.
Many recall notifications arrive after an organization has already been exposed to risk. ECRI’s SafeSignals are designed to close that gap. By identifying hazards, product failures, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities through independent surveillance rather than waiting for official regulatory action, ECRI surfaces safety threats earlier than FDA notifications often by days, weeks, or even months.
