Building World-Class Global Quality Teams That Break Down Silos
Over 25 years leading global quality and regulatory organizations, I've learned that the most difficult challenges aren't regulatory or technical; they're organizational and cultural.
Mastering Cultural Intelligence In Global Quality And Regulatory Leadership
The medical device industry has gone global, but most quality and regulatory leaders still operate with regional mindsets. Leaders who master cultural intelligence build quality systems that leverage diversity as competitive advantage.
A Better Interpretation Of POH In ISO 24971
Probability of harm (POH) is critical to appropriately scoring risks, so how should it be done? POH needs to show all probabilities, not suppress them.

DESIGN COMPONENTS & SERVICES
The 3/32" flow Twin Tube™ coupling provides one easy-to-use quick disconnect for two separate fluid lines. The non-valved Twin Tube maintains two individual flow paths in one coupling. Featuring the Colder thumb latch, the Twin Tube can disconnect two lines with the push of a button. The panel mount design keeps a low profile on the front of the equipment panel.
DSM Biomedical is a global leader in biomedical materials science with experience in creating advanced drug delivery technologies. Their proprietary bioresorbable polymers provide the foundation that enables biopharmaceutical companies to formulate implantable drug delivery systems for specific applications. This technology assists in the creation of platforms for medication delivery to precise target areas in the body, with controlled release from several days to multiple months.
The 1/8" flow polypropylene PMC12 offers many of the same configuration options as the PMC. The polypropylene material adds greater chemical resistance for more demanding applications. PMC12 couplings are also gamma sterilizable.
The LHD Series by the Lee Company comprises high-density interface solenoid valves ideal for oxygen delivery systems, gas analysis equipment, patient monitors, air calibration devices, gas chromatography devices, and other medical instrumentation with flow control needs and limited space.
MEDICAL DEVICE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Medical device design and development is the cyclical process of creating a device for a specific task or set of tasks, and then continuously reevaluating its effectiveness and improving upon it until the device reaches obsolescence. Design and development begins with ideation and the creation of a concept that, if found to be both fiscally and clinically viable, is then designed, engineered, and prototyped. This preclinical period includes bench testing — accomplished through simulated use of the product — and animal testing, along with any necessary redesign work.
Throughout the process, the proposed medical device, and the process by which it will be manufactured, is examined for flaws that may negatively impact the device’s safety, market viability, regulatory acceptance, customer satisfaction, usability, or profitability. Any shortcomings are corrected, and the improvements applied to the final design. Due to the wireless connectivity capabilities of many modern medical devices, cybersecurity and interoperability also must be incorporated into the design. Clinical testing is conducted, using human subjects, to further expose flaws and confirm product strengths. Once both the product design and the manufacturing process have been validated and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), production and commercialization of a device may begin.
