Overcoming Medical Technology Challenges with Customized Microsoft Business Software
Product traceability, stringent quality requirements, and compliance with FDA, regulatory, and other requirements are just a few of the key factors that determine a company’s success in this field. This business relies on tightly controlled processes to produce high-quality products that meet stringent quality standards, while providing documentation to verify all procedures and withstand audits.
Technological progress sets the pace in the development and introduction of medical products. In addition, manufacturers must meet the cost pressure in the healthcare system and regulatory requirements.
Regulations for Medical Devices
- “Medical Device Regulation” (MDR)
- In-vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR)
- DIN EN ISO 13485 – Medical Devices
- ISO 9001 – Quality Management
- ISO 14971 – Risk Management of Medical Devices
- etc.
USA -Good Clinical Practices (GCP)
- 21 CFR Part 11 – Electronic Records; Electronic Signature
- etc.
The high level of responsibility that a medical device company bears regarding product safety and documentation requires a certain structure. In addition to the specific requirements, warehouse and inventory management, forecasting, logistics, shipping, and customer service must also be managed. With a powerful ERP solution, this is not a problem.
Performance expectations for ERP medical device software
In the medical device industry, core processes are often executed manually or in disconnected systems. This leads to sources of error and considerable additional work. The use of modern ERP systems opens opportunities for process optimization: from product development and manufacturing to the service of medical products.
