Castor Essentials for medical device trials

Castor Essentials: the fastest route to compliant medical device trials

Early-stage medical device, diagnostic, and IVD teams shouldn’t have to choose between a lean budget and rigorous trial compliance. See how Castor Essentials gets a lean team from protocol to a live, compliant low-complexity study in weeks, in a 30-minute demo.

21 CFR Part 11 audit trails, built for lean device teams

Legacy EDCs are overkill for a pilot or validation study, and spreadsheets give you nothing to show an auditor. Castor Essentials is a do-it-yourself study building package that combines a natively unified EDC and ePRO platform with a no-code builder, so you get audit-ready data capture without the IT overhead or integration fees. In this 30-minute session you will see a study built live and learn exactly what the Essentials bundle includes.

Four things you’ll walk away with

How to eliminate the integration tax by capturing data and patient surveys in a single database, so your data never fragments across systems
Rapid study building in action, with a live demonstration of the no-code, drag-and-drop form builder used to design eCRFs and ePROs
How the platform delivers 21 CFR Part 11 audit readiness out of the box, so compliance is built in rather than bolted on
What is inside the Essentials bundle: the software, Castor Academy training, and the support that gets a low-complexity study ready to enroll its first patient

Purpose-built for device trials, not enterprise bloat

Castor Essentials pairs a natively unified EDC, ePRO, and eConsent platform with no-code configuration, so lean teams build compliant studies themselves. Low-complexity studies launch in three to four weeks, which is what gets a lean team from protocol to enrolling its first patient in weeks rather than months. It is a cost-effective entry point designed for early-phase and device trials, without the complexity of an enterprise EDC.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Castor Essentials?
Castor Essentials is a do-it-yourself study building program for lean research teams. It combines a natively unified EDC and ePRO platform with a no-code form builder, Castor Academy training, and technical support, so early-stage medical device, diagnostic, and IVD teams can run a compliant study without a large IT team or expensive integration work.
Is Castor Essentials suitable for 510(k) and CE mark medical device studies?
Yes. Castor Essentials is built for medical device, diagnostic, and IVD teams running pilot, validation, 510(k), and CE mark studies. Low-complexity studies can launch in three to four weeks, and the platform supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements out of the box. The July 22 session includes a live build of a study from scratch.
How quickly can a study go live with Castor Essentials?
Low-complexity studies launch in three to four weeks. Because the platform uses a no-code, drag-and-drop form builder, teams design eCRFs and ePROs themselves without programmers, which is what makes the path from protocol to first patient in measured in weeks rather than months.
Does Castor Essentials support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance?
Yes. Castor Essentials delivers 21 CFR Part 11 support out of the box, including audit trails, so lean teams can meet compliance requirements without building the infrastructure themselves. The session covers what audit readiness looks like on the platform.
