Frequently asked questions

With medical devices becoming increasingly complex and regulatory oversight tightening, it’s difficult for manufacturers to deliver products effectively and maintain a competitive advantage. But there are ways to improve innovation, speed to market and data quality while continuing to be compliant. PLM is a core system of record the medical device manufacturers need to achieve speed to market, risk reduction and enhanced collaboration. This includes change control, audit readiness and business process automation.

Our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for Medical Devices is an integrated end-to-end product development system that tackles complexity and regulation through re-use, context capture and collaboration. Manufacturers improve visibility and traceability while reducing costs and compliance risks to produce competitively differentiated premium-value devices.

PLM for Medical Devices is built with medical device companies in mind to support regulated work flows and compliance readiness. Examples include Part 11 compliance support, software validation packages, and engineering, quality, and regulatory solutions designed to work together in one system. All aspects of design control including supporting the design history file and preparation of regulatory submissions and coordination with manufacturing during design transfer.

The best medical device quality is achieved through design assurance, not downstream in manufacturing or post market surveillance. Manufacturers can gain significantly greater returns in quality by investing in their design control processes and systems. PLM for Medical Devices removes much of the fallibility of manual collaboration and enables design and quality teams to focus where their attention belongs – on the safety and efficacy of the product.

A well-built PLM enables teams to innovate more effectively through re-use and contextual learning from their device(s) data. Context requires traceability through knowledge transfer between teams and over time. Building in context is essential to maintain good clinical outcomes. Additionally, increasing speed of collaboration can enable more design cycles and opportunities to improve the design output.
