DESIGN EXCELLENCE FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
Design risk management into your business
Make informed design decisions based on comprehensive risk management data – create safe/effective products without comprising cost/timeline.
Medical device manufacturers are naturally fastidious about risk management: their products, after all, routinely directly impact the health and wellbeing of patients.
But unless risk management is viewed as a holistic responsibility it can become the kind of administrative burden that can stifle agility and innovation in a world that increasingly expects both.
A design-first approach to technology platforms and workflow boosts collaboration between teams, who can share and re-use data more effectively, and brings risk management into the development cycle as a collective responsibility.
By digitizing and connecting requirements and design data into a single platform, manufacturers can ensure important insights from risk analysis directly inform design decisions that define the final product.
The danger of miscommunication – or missed connection – is all but eliminated. Managing change during and after development is also simplified and constrained to the affected data subset for more meaningful and manageable review.
Thanks to a transformational Siemens technology platform, Terumo Americas, the US arm of a Japanese medtech leader, succeeded in eliminating errors and inefficiencies within its risk management and compliance process, cutting one key batch-processing bottleneck from days to just minutes.
We set out to build our digital factories of the future. This initiative was not about technology. It was about transforming the way we did business.
