Contact lens, IVD, and orthopedic

Contact lens mold inspection with angle-of-attack illumination, refraction, and light scatter for translucent defect detection; IEC 62304 V&V of an IVD for breast cancer screening; and a CAPA-driven orthopedic implant inspection system with MSA and uncertainty analysis.

SaMD and data systems

21 CFR Part 11 advisory for a Class III SaMD platform managing the chain of custody for cadaver corneas, plus an EHR synchronization architecture for a multi-site healthcare organization across approximately fifty states.

Long-running deliveries

Ultrasound test set hardware abstraction layer still in production with only one bug ticket ever filed against it, novel EKG diagnostic data logging and cardiac signal analysis, FPGA white-box testing and V&V for an electroporation device, and 21 CFR 820.70(i) validation of a COTS LMS.

V&V And Regulatory Compliance

V&V And Regulatory Compliance

Structured verification and validation grounded in 21 CFR 820.30, IEC 62304, and 21 CFR Part 11. We deliver requirements traceability matrices, protocol execution, gap analyses, and validation summary reports that hold up under FDA inspection -- including warning letter remediation when the stakes are highest.

Non-Product Software Validation

Validation per 21 CFR 820.70(i) for software that supports manufacturing and quality but is not part of the device itself -- production test applications, lab databases, analysis scripts, automation frameworks, COTS LMS platforms, and EHR synchronization systems. Risk-based, proportional, and defensible under audit.

Part 11-Ready Records

Electronic records, audit trails, electronic signatures, and automated PDF test reports architected for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance from the start. We have implemented Part 11-compliant systems for Class III implantables, SaMD tissue tracking platforms, and multi-site production environments.

Automated Test Equipment

Production ATE For Medical Devices

Automated test equipment for manufacturing lines -- from LVAD pump programming stations and surgical stapler handle/shaft ATE to contact lens mold inspection and blood handling equipment. We build production-hardened systems validated per 820.72(a) with calibration traceability, measurement system analysis, and automated data acquisition.

Fixtures And Motion Systems

Five-axis robotic charging characterization, MRI field simulation RF injection fixtures, life cycle durability testers, and motion-controlled alignment rigs. Purpose-built mechanical and electromechanical fixtures for active implants, electroporation devices, and energy-delivering systems where repeatable positioning is non-negotiable.

Measurement Confidence

Gauge R&R, measurement system analysis, and uncertainty budgets per 820.72(a) so pass/fail decisions are defensible. We have performed MSA on CAPA-driven orthopedic implant inspection systems, closure force testers for surgical staplers, and novel optics for translucent defect detection -- ensuring test results are credible and traceable.

What We Build In Medical Devices

Production test systems, V&V deliverables, regulatory consulting, and the software infrastructure that connects them -- built by engineers who understand both the hardware and the quality system.

Non-Product Software V&V

  • Validation per 21 CFR 820.70(i) for production test software, lab databases, and COTS platforms like LMS and EHR systems 
  • CI/CD pipelines, unit testing frameworks, and automation harnesses for medical device test software under IEC 62304
  • 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data capture, audit trails, electronic signatures, and automated PDF test reports

Test Sets For Implants And Active Devices

  • LVAD life cycle testers, pump programming fixtures, and production data acquisition for Class III electromechanical implants
  • Five-axis robotic charging characterization, MRI field simulation RF injection, and RF test sets for active implantable devices
  • CAPA-driven in-process gauges for orthopedic implants with MSA, uncertainty analysis, and calibration traceability per 820.72(a)

SaMD And Tissue Workflows

  • Class III SaMD verification for corneal tissue management with full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and IEC 62304 lifecycle traceability
  • EHR synchronization architecture spanning approximately fifty states with custody, temperature tracking, and suitability checks
  • IVD verification for breast cancer screening diagnostics validated to IEC 62304 software lifecycle requirements

Training And Advisory

  • Workshops on non-product software validation per 820.70(i), 21 CFR Part 11 implementation, and test method V&V per 820.30
  • Reverse engineering assessments, LabVIEW coding standards reviews, and test software revision control architecture
  • FDA warning letter remediation, CAPA-driven gap analysis, and direct audit preparation support

Why Medical Device Test Is Different

Regulation Is Part Of The Design Space

Every architecture decision intersects 21 CFR 820.30 design controls, 820.70(i) software validation, 820.72(a) calibration requirements, and IEC 62304 software lifecycle processes. We design traceability and evidence generation into the system from the start -- not bolted on after the fact.

Non-Product Software Still Gets Scrutinized

LMS platforms, EHR systems, production test applications, and analysis scripts all end up in front of auditors. We have validated COTS LMS per 820.70(i), built Part 11-compliant data systems for multi-site operations, and implemented CI/CD with unit testing for device test software. Proportional, risk-based, and defensible.

The Test Set Must Never Be The Weak Link

From Class III LVAD pump testers to surgical stapler ATE to electroporation FPGA test benches, the test set has to be at least as reliable as the device it measures. We deliver MSA, uncertainty budgets, calibration traceability, and validation packages that make the test system audit-proof.

Representative Medical Device Work

One team that handles both the engineering and the quality system -- from Class II diagnostics to Class III implants, from production ATE to FDA warning letter remediation.

Global Training And V&V Frameworks

For a global cochlear implant manufacturer, we implemented a structured non-product software V&V methodology, established a CI/CD pipeline with build server and integrated help file generation, developed unit tests for software modules, and assessed existing V&V documentation against FDA requirements per 21 CFR 820.70(i) and Part 11.

LMS Validation For Training Records

Performed non-product software validation per 21 CFR 820.70(i) for a commercial off-the-shelf Learning Management System at a Class II medical device company, supporting their quality system requirements for training records.

Tissue Workflow SaMD Support

Class III SaMD verification for a corneal tissue management platform -- 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, custody chain tracking, temperature monitoring, and suitability checks with full requirements traceability and safety-critical behavior validation.

In-Process Gauge For Orthopedic Implants

CAPA-driven automated inspection system for orthopedic implants -- in-line gauging to prevent mis-sized escapes, with full MSA, measurement uncertainty budgets, calibration traceability per 820.72(a), and audit-ready documentation.

Cardiac Support Device Production Test

Updated production test software for the second-generation Class III cardiac support device that holds the heart during open-heart surgery, cools it, and pumps blood to maintain circulation. Then designed and developed new test software for the third-generation device, with non-product software V&V and test method V&V per 21 CFR 820.70(i).

How We Work With Medical Device Teams

Program Support
Join your team on a Class III implant program, SaMD platform, production ATE buildout, or FDA remediation effort where test infrastructure is on the critical path.

Modernize And Validate
Replace ad hoc tools with engineered ATE, structured V&V packages per 820.30 and IEC 62304, and Part 11-compliant data systems your quality system can defend under audit.

Train And Transfer
Workshops on 820.70(i) validation methodology, Part 11 implementation, and test method V&V -- plus hands-on implementation, coding standards, and documentation thorough enough for your team to sustain the system independently.

Why Us
