Our work adheres to key standards such as ISO 13485 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14971 (Risk Management), ISO 62366-1 (Usability Engineering), and various IEC standards for electrical safety.

Yes, we provide comprehensive support for regulatory submissions, including preparing documentation for 510(k) premarket notifications, De Novo requests, PMA applications, and CE marking. Our team helps you navigate the complexities of compiling the necessary evidence, DHF, DMR and documentation.

Our regulatory experts stay continuously updated on the latest changes in medical device regulations worldwide. We proactively integrate these requirements into our design and development processes, mitigating risks and ensuring your device remains compliant throughout its lifecycle.

Prototyping & Manufacturing

What prototyping capabilities does Agile MedTech offer?

We offer rapid prototyping services utilizing advanced technologies like 3D printing, vacuum forming, and CNC machining. This enables us to create fast-turn functional prototypes for testing, iteration, and design validation, significantly accelerating your development timeline. – How Agile MedTech Powers Your Medical Device from Idea to Production.

Yes, we provide scalable manufacturing support. Whether you need a small batch for clinical trials or mid-volume production for commercial launch, we can manage PCB production, injection molding, custom disposables, and other manufacturing processes to match your product’s growth trajectory.

DFM is the process of optimizing a product’s design for efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality manufacturing. Our engineers collaborate with your team from the earliest stages to identify potential manufacturing challenges, suggest material optimizations, and refine component designs, minimizing costly redesigns down the line.

Human Factors & Usability

Why are Human Factors important in medical device design?

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) ensures that medical devices are intuitive, safe, and user-friendly, reducing the risk of errors and improving patient outcomes. It involves designing devices that fit naturally into user workflows and environments. Beyond Engineering Why Human Factors are Critical to Your Medical Device’s Success.

We integrate HFE and industrial design into every development phase, focusing on ergonomics, intuitive interface design, and rigorous usability testing with real users. This iterative process helps us identify and mitigate potential use-related risks and optimize the user experience.

Yes, we conduct comprehensive usability testing with target users to validate device functionality and user interaction. Our usability studies are meticulously documented to align with FDA guidelines (e.g., for HFE submissions) and ISO 62366-1 standards, supporting your regulatory approval.

Partnership & Engagement

How does Agile MedTech typically engage with clients?

We believe in a collaborative partnership approach. We assign a dedicated project team that works closely with you, providing transparent communication and regular updates. We can engage in various models, from full-service development to supporting specific phases of your project.
