Medical devices are getting smaller, smarter, and more powerful – much like the evolution of computers. In fact, many of today’s microelectronic-containing medical devices act very much like minicomputers — sensing, seeing, gathering and sharing data, from both inside and outside the body. But how best to approach the manufacturing and assembly of these increasingly complex medical devices? Ironically, by simplifying the steps. In his article for Manufacturing Quality, our COO Dave Fromm explains how our five-phase gated approach efficiently supports device development, from concept to production.
