We also provide errors and omissions coverage for manufacturers.  This protects you when your negligent error or omission inflicts economic injury on your customer, including covering costs associated with the loss of use of data or a recall.  Medmarc covers virtually all companies functioning in drug and device supply chains — from companies sponsoring clinical trials and providing contract manufacturing, sterilization, and packaging services to those with commercialized products and sales – in both the drug and device industries.
