Medical Devices

Medical devices manufacturers are facing unprecedented pressure. The market place is rapidly growing in a highly competitive environment. The medical devices industry needs to be innovative, cost-effective, without compromising quality and reliability, while coping with rigorous compliance and regulations. Medical device companies can also face devastating legal challenges such as patent infringement, product liability, and personal injuries lawsuits.

The current market trends are inducing the industry to a change in its operating model. Traditional lines of business, technology, and competition are blurring; therefore the medical devices will be a convergence of mechanical, physical, and nanotechnology inputs that will be developed and marketed by established and emerging competition.

Besides the regulatory agencies' acceptance of the device's safety and efficacy, the agency must also accept the processes and controls that were in place when the device was designed and developed. Therefore a successful project must take regulatory compliance into consideration right from the start of the project.

Consequently, in order to produce safe, reliable and profitable products in a timely, competitive manner, while staying compliant, the key success factors are:

• Comprehensive management of risks.
• Strict quality control.
• Efficient document management.
• A process-based management approach.
