Develop medical devices safely and bring them to market faster

Medical technology is one of the most innovative industries in the world - around one third of sales is generated with product developments in the last three years! In addition to short innovation cycles, the special challenges include growing interdisciplinarity, the high complexity of research and development processes, and increasingly strict regulatory requirements. As an integrated industry solution, CONTACT Medical offers comprehensive support for the special requirements of medical technology.

Integrated medical technology industry solution

Mastering the lifecycle of a medical device

CONTACT Medical provides an integrated industry solution that takes account of the special requirements of the medical engineering industry. This offering promises to let you “master the entire lifecycle of a medical device”. CONTACT Medical combines requirements, data, documents, projects and processes and offers comprehensive validity and traceability in the entire development process with the principle of Single Source of Truth.

Reliable document management for maximum security

With its flexible folder and classification concept, CONTACT Document Management provides a comprehensive classification system. Filing structures organize the entire documentation that is created during the product life cycle. This enables, for example, the fulfillment of the verification obligations specified by FDA 21 CFR and ISO 13485. Clear and easily adaptable review and approval workflows support smooth processes and ensure process quality and safety.

Accelerated release procedures and compliance in process

CONTACT Digital Signatures accelerates internal and external checking and approval proc edures and makes them fully traceable. Any object such as products, bills of materials and documents can be digitally signed. The solution also supports the fulfillment of regulatory requirements (Electronic Records, FDA), ensures security and protects against fraud.

CONTACT Medical supports companies in comprehensively fulfilling their documentation obligations as well as the requirements regarding material conformity, for example, according to REACH and RoHS. The principle: compliance in process − thanks to automatically running documentation, the effort required to fulfill the obligation to provide evidence is significantly reduced. 

Efficient requirements and approval management

The FDA demands the complete recording and traceability of the requirements as well as of their implementation. The integrated requirements management guarantees this. All requirements - including regulatory ones such as battery or packaging regulations - can be stored as project templates.

CONTACT Medical also provides efficient process support for the approval of medical devices on the international market. Almost every country has its own approval procedures due to a lack of international harmonization. With CONTACT Medical, medical device manufacturers can flexibly map the required review processes, test runs and other measures to the respective national specifications using workflow designers and template libraries. This support from CONTACT Medical also applies to re-audits and re-certification processes.
