What tests are involved in medical device design and development?

User testing

To create a successful product, user testing is crucial. Begin by interviewing users and conducting early testing with simple concept mockups. Test more detailed mockups and use basic functional prototypes to confirm ease of use. Each test provides an opportunity to improve product design and keep customers satisfied.

Core technology testing

Innovative products based on novel technologies require core technology testing for functional performance, reliability, and user feedback. It is essential to address any issues to meet user needs and prepare for product development.

Engineering testing

Medical machining requires precision and accuracy to create components for medical devices. Engineering testing is crucial to ensure that the components function properly and safely when used in the final product. Initial prototypes must be tested for ease of assembly and functionality, and any necessary modifications should be made before production to reduce costs and time to market.

Verification testing

Efficient manufacturing of products requires them to be designed for easy production using advanced techniques such as CNC machining. Verification testing is necessary to confirm that the production units meet both the appearance and functional requirements, which ultimately helps to avoid costly defects and rework.
