Quality Product
Design and Efficient Production
Medical products companies that manufacture in
accordance with FDA and ISO9001 standards take great care to ensure the
production process guarantees a quality finished product. Ideally the
process of creating an efficient, reliable, and cost effective production
process starts with the design of the product itself. If the design of
the device being produced is cumbersome, then the production process will not
be efficient. This will add cost to the finished product and hinder the
company’s ability to meet demand.

Professor Richard A. Johnson of
the Graduate School of Business Administration University of Washington in
his book, The Theory and Management of Systems, describes a system as an
array of components designed to accomplish a particular objective
according to plan.
Quality
manufacturers design and develop a comprehensive array of systems and
components to assemble state of the art medical devices. Each component of
the manufacturing system such as efficient molding and assembly fixtures
should be designed to support optimally the form, fit, and function of a
finished device.
At Clinical Innovations
we design products that first and foremost meet and exceed the clinical
needs but also allow us to focus on a precise manufacturing planning
process that supports active strategic changes in components, systems, and
personnel. The result is a highly flexible yet predictable method of
providing fully functional, high quality medical devices to clinics and
hospitals across the world.

For example, the CI ClearView Uterine Manipulator is designed with cost effective “off-the-shelf” components and can be assembled with no
screws or fasteners and only one drop of adhesive.
Because of this method of
production design CI products are efficiently and cost effectively made.
CI passes these cost savings on to our customers and the simple design of
our products allows us to increase production to meet clinical demand so
that product shortages are not an issue.
As a final step in the CI
production process each and every device is 100% tested for form,
function, and leaks. This includes the Koala IUPC, Kiwi Vacuum
Delivery System and ClearView Uterine Manipulator. |
