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...
Proactive Testing Prevents Costly Rework: Detect critical errors early in product development
Some examples of safety related errors found include Incorrect ventilation or no ventilation at all Missing or incorrect alarm output, e.g. due to a speaker failure Startup in password protected mode, allowing unauthorized persons to make critical changes Problems...
More accurate respiratory gas sensing for ventilation
What Exactly Is It? This patented invention describes an innovative method for measuring gas samples in a sidestream with the highest temporal resolution. The technology enables precise analysis of the gas composition in flowing gases or gas mixtures and is ideally...
The End of Loopholes: Successfully achieving MDR conformity
How does this affect practice? Clinical theory and practice of the MDR often diverge Early implementation of clinical aspects is underestimated Project cost explode due to lack of coordination with the notified body Insufficient clinical evidence for the general...
