Technical Consulting Straight from the Field
We know what to expect when implementing your ideas.
As a successful development service provider, our diverse projects and in-house products, as well as our focus on high-end medical devices, have provided us with a wealth of practical experience that enables our customers implement innovative projects more quickly.
Accelerate Market Access and Reduce Costs with Secure Product Development
With over 300 successfully completed MedTech projects, our R&D Consulting division offers customized and flexible strategies for a wide range of challenges. Our core team of experts has been working closely together for more than 20 years and specializes in the development and optimization of high-performance medical devices, including Class IIb and III. Thanks to our in-depth manufacturing knowledge, we support our customers in bringing reliable medical devices to market faster and efficiently designing their production processes.
Effective consulting for every phase of your project
A clear vision and a thorough analysis are crucial for the start of a successful project. We help you to comply with all standards and technical requirements and to create the right development environment. From the specification sheet to the successful testing of your system, we guide your team through all phases and help you to place your medical device safely and successfully on the market.
Requirements Engineering
System Footprint Workshops
We create a common vision for all stakeholders, document all specifications, needs and functions to ensure a clear and testable requirements that identifies challenges early on and minimizes errors.
- Identify, record and jointly evaluate market needs and regulatory requirements
- Create and document technical, testable requirements at system level
- Ensure traceability of the requirements file (system & subsystem, risk-minimizing requirements, verification)
- Visualization of the system footprint with functions, components, interfaces and technical framework conditions
Software & Algorithm Reviews
Code Analysis & SW-Compiler Optimizing
Through our detailed review of source code, architecture and algorithms, we identify and resolve problems at an early stage. This not only improves the performance and reliability, but also reduces the effort required for future updates and maintenance.
- Software check for functionality, performance, security gaps and compliance with best practices in coding
- Static and dynamic code analysis
- Algorithm evaluation in terms of accuracy, efficiency and reliable results
- Software Compiler Optimization
- Review of regulations for medical devices (AI Act readiness)
System Testing
V&V Testing to Automated Testing
Our system testing provides an independent evaluation in which we thoroughly analyze your projects. Additionally, our automated processes enhance the consistency and repeatability of tests – ensuring a safe and reliable product.
- Review of the requirements documents: Checking requirements for testability.
- Test case design for efficient test cases from the requirements.
- System tests, incl. vital and shock parameters, communication, usability and continuous loads.
- Verification & Validation Testing
- Test bench construction and validation of test environments with LabView and Robot Framework.
There Is No Such Thing as Complete Security – but We Are Working on It
We develop customized solutions for safe medical technology products that can be integrated into every phase of product development. We use detailed reviews and concepts to ensure that all components interact optimally and that weak points are recognized and rectified at an early stage.
