Does your current supplier have a global presence that can provide stability for your company’s needs?
Our client, a leader in the medical device industry, needed a detachable MRI table docking system. To stay competitive, their healthcare clients needed help saving time during patient appointments while addressing safety issues and abiding by FDA protocols. This new detachable MRI table docking system had to evolve. The goal was for it to accommodate software and repeated matings, so the MRI system knew it was docked to a removeable table. Our client learned that Nortech had the expertise they needed. They decided to rely on us as their strategic partner to meet important project goals.
Design for Manufacturability
Engaging in lifecycle management with a contract manufacturer makes the entire process from initial ideation to fulfillment more efficient. This provides you with better design, higher quality product and faster speed to market for new technologies.
Other companies often struggle with the early engagement process of medical device product design and manufacturing. Typically, it’s because working with a new contract manufacturer can be seen as risky and cause uncertainty. As a result, they experience slower product development cycles, or a lack of new products all together. By engaging with a strategic partner’s resources, you will optimize and add value to your R&D process.
Our client realized that an early relationship with us would improve the safety of their commercial product, speed to issue resolution and client relationships. Because of this, our engineers started collaborating with them early on using our technology and resources to help tune their baluns. Our team provided quick turn prototyping and on-site testing that saved time and money. We also manufactured this technology once it was developed. This client immediately learned the value of early partnership with our integrated team of engineers. As a result, they transitioned to our prototypes and manufacturing which gave them valuable speed to issue resolution.
Medical Device Product Design Results
Our client received the optimal design and met FDA safety standards needed to create commercial success with their product. This resulted in a significant reduction of unproductive time during patient appointments with the use of multiple detachable MRI table docking systems. Our clients were thrilled with daily progress updates from engineers. Nortech’s data proved FDA protocols are being implemented, and the smooth operation of the dockable MRI tables. The technology designed and developed has now been successfully implemented into their healthcare client’s facilities.
