Mythos: How AI expands the attack surface for hackers and how manufactures should prepare
To be clear, we are not talking about doubling the capacity of its predecessor. Mythos is several orders of magnitude better at finding Zero-day vulnerabilities. Firefox exploit benchmarks show a 90x increase compared to Opus 4.6. Mozilla Firefox found 22 security...
Exploratory Testing: The missing piece in your test strategy
The limits of classical testing In classical testing, we assume that we are aware of what we know and don’t know and can therefore design test cases to address it. Classical testing provides structure, repeatability and regulatory confidence. But this approach has...
Don’t Let a Small Bug Turn into Costly Recalls: Lessons from Real World Medical Device Cybersecurity Incidents
Beyond technical and regulatory considerations, cybersecurity failures can carry real business consequences. A single vulnerability can trigger expensive product recalls, unplanned remediation, and increased scrutiny from regulators and customers. Even more critical...
Engineering the Impossible: How TDK Helped Corscience Develop the World’s Smallest AED
The Core Challenge: High Voltage in an Ultra‑Compact Space But size wasn't the only constraint. It’s crucial for a defibrillator that the capacitor maintains its charge over extended periods. Any significant leakage current could mean the difference between a...
Usability for Modern Medical Devices: A foundation for sustainable success
What does usability engineering mean? In principle, usability engineering refers to the targeted analysis and development of the interfaces to the user. User interfaces are all points of interaction between the product and the user, or the patient. This includes...
Miniaturization of Complex Medical Technology: Mastering Technical, Organizational, and Regulatory Challenges
Engineering and Integration Challenges in Miniaturized Systems The miniaturization of private-use diagnostic and therapeutic devices requires new approaches in mechanical design, electronics, thermal management, and system integration. It also demands close...
New requirements for AEDs and digital transformation in Medtech
Connectivity is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s a prerequisite for market access and long-term viability. Anyone developing a medical device today must consider digital interfaces and secure data transmission from the outset. Given this context, the updated German...
Modular Platform Solutios for Smarter Data Handling in Medical Devices
The platform solution is fully scalable: we can quickly connect the customer’s existing technologies, such as sensors, to the system, both in terms of hardware and software. In close consultation with the customer, including hybrid customer and Corscience teams, our...
Medical device manufacturers’ responsibilities under the AI Act
Risk management system Your processes must continuously assess and mitigate potential risks throughout the product lifecycle, from development to market surveillance. Manufacturers must ensure the reproducibility, reliability and safety of AI systems by regularly...
Implementation strategies for the AI Act
1. Conduct a comprehensive gap analysis The first step is to identify all AI components in your products and classify them according to the risk-based framework of the AI Act. In addition, are your existing technical documentation, risk management processes and market...
Introduction to the AI Act for Medical Device Manufacturers
More regulation for more safety The AI Act is an additional regulation to the already strict requirements of the MDR. While the MDR focuses on the physical safety and well-being of patients and users, AI and machine learning raise new concerns. The AI Act addresses...
