We do DFM (Design for Manufacturing) into the early stages of the process to Prevent the need to rework elements later in the process. We make them fit with manufacturing realities, minimize costs because issues can be dealt with early without double-work.
Our engineering support for pre-design for manufacturability (DFM) services ensures that design issues are addressed early, reducing the need for costly revisions during prototype builds. We also provide post-DFM services to minimize manufacturability challenges in future production.Read more ▶
We define manufacturing processes, including equipment and machinery requirements, establish quality control parameters, and develop detailed process documentation to ensure consistent, high-quality production.
- The Importance of Materials in Medical Devices: Materials play a critical role in the success of medical devices, often accounting for over 70% of the total product cost. A strong supply chain with stringent vendor quality control is essential to maintain profitability and competitiveness.
- Strategic Sourcing and Cost Optimization: We manage the medical device supply chain by sourcing high-quality materials from approved suppliers. Our Far East procurement team ensures cost optimization, while our component engineers identify alternative parts to address lead-time challenges and reduce material costs, helping clients manage expenses efficiently.
- Leveraging Advanced ERP Systems for Supply Chain Management: SAP ERP System allows us to effectively manage supply and demand, ensuring the highest material quality and availability. This ensures smooth operations and timely deliveries, making us a reliable partner in medical device manufacturing.
Manufacturing Process:
We offer a wide range of medical device assembly services, including:
- Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs): Using surface mount technology (SMT) or through-hole technology (THT), we solder components onto PCBs.Read more ▶
- Sheet Metal Fabrication and Welding: To cut, bend, and shape thin metal sheets to create various components.
- Injection Molding of Plastic Parts: To produce precise, repeatable plastic components through injection molding.
- Man-Machine Interface (MMI): To design and integrate user interfaces, such as buttons, LED indicators, and touchscreens, for medical devices.
Medical Device Quick-Turn Prototyping:
- Importance of Quick-Turn PCB Assembly for Prototyping: Quick-turn PCB assembly (PCBA) prototypes play a crucial role in expediting product development and reducing time-to-market. We offer DFM/DFT engineering services to ensure the prototype is done right the first time. Our quickest turn for PCB assembly prototypes is within 24 hours.Read more ▶
- Skilled Engineering Support for Prototype Reworking: Our engineers and technicians are very skilled in reworking prototypes to avoid the respinning of the PCB design; it saves cost and time to prove the prototype design. This is extremely crucial when there is a tight project schedule.
- Success Story of Rapid Prototype Reworking: There was a case where the customer didn't have time to respin the prototype PCB. We helped to add 26 jumper wires to both sides of an extremely small board to make the prototype functional. It helped the customer to show the new product at the trade show with great success.
- Success Story of adding wire from "under BGA" to a circuit: This task is used to change a circuit path at a BGA site for engineering changes/modifications. This process requires precision equipment and highly trained technicians.
New Product Introduction (NPI):
New Product Introduction (NPI) is a critical process that bridges the gap between product development and mass production of medical equipments. We have a a well-defined NPI process to identify potential issues earlier, streamlining process for mass production, cost optimization, and quality assurance.Read more ▶
Devices Verification
Verification is a crucial process in the development and manufacturing of medical devices, ensuring that the device is built correctly according to design specifications. So that the devices are safe, effective, and meet regulatory standards.
Testing: We utilize state-of-the-art testing equipment to perform rigorous functional and performance testing on every device we manufacture. This ensures each product functions flawlessly before reaching patients.

Medical device Quality Assurance (QA):
Regulatory Compliance: We ensure that all processes adhere to ethical standards and comply with relevant medical device regulations (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, UL, CE) and regularly update our compliance procedures in meeting the highest safety and quality requirements for patient well-being.Read more ▶
Structured Methodology: Our quality control methodology is designed to ensure the highest levels of safety, effectiveness, and reliability for medical devices. This includes thorough material inspections, controlled manufacturing processes, and comprehensive testing, which are crucial for medical device assembly and manufacturing.
Traceability and Transparency: We maintain a comprehensive traceability system that allows us to track every component and material used in each device. This ensures we can quickly identify and address any potential quality issues. We dedicated to manufacture medical equipment meeting the quality standards and preventing defects and recalls while safeguarding patient safety. We maintaimaintains medical device history records (DHR) in accordance with the requirements of the FDA regulations. Our Quality System ensures that DHR's are maintained in accordance with the Device Master Record (DMR).
Computerized Manufacturing Execution System (MES), coupled with real-time barcode data collection, to track the movement of components and products throughout the manufacturing process. It enhances quality control and ensures traceability and regulatory compliance per medical regulations, such as unique device identification (UDI), etc. We customize our traceability system to meet specific customer needs for medical device and equipment manufacturing.
