The United States has the largest medical device market in the world, spending more than $150 billion dollars on medical devices each year. The medical technology industry, however, is facing ever-stricter regulatory demands and constantly growing competition, making it crucial for manufacturers to revamp their business processes and operate more efficiently to remain profitable and competitive.
The FDA requires manufacturers to track medical devices from assembly through distribution, which ensures that manufacturers establish tracking systems early on to enable the prompt location of a device within commercial distribution. The information is then used to facilitate notifications and/or recalls ordered by the FDA in the event that a device proves faulty or poses potential health risks.
Advanced technology systems make it possible to automate registration tracking processes, allowing medical device manufacturers to achieve greater operational performance and reduce risk.
Sage Enterprise Management was designed and developed with medical device registration and tracking in mind, with functionality including:
Sage Enterprise Management’s quality control management process also enforces regularly scheduled product inspections to ensure that all devices meet industry mandated specifications, operational tolerance requirements, and expected results. Companies can conduct inspections at any point in the production process, automatically isolating substandard devices for further examination or disposal. In addition, it allows for quality control status flags so production and quality associates can confirm the status of the product. Sage Enterprise Management’s rule-based system prevents the use of items that don’t meet predetermined quality standards.
