CHI's Next Generation Dx Summit turned out to be quite the event, this past August in Washington, DC. With more than 1,000 industry leaders in diagnostics, it proved to be an effective showcase for networking and discussing the latest technologies in clinical diagnostics. KMC Systems was proud to be a corporate sponsor and exhibitor at the summit. 

Guidelines for Early Stage Innovation in Medical Device Design and Development 

If you’re on a quest to turn a groundbreaking diagnostic concept into a one-of-a-kind, automated, medical masterpiece, you know that every step has to be well-planned and organized. When facilitated correctly, structured collaboration and ideation sessions can be used to generate a wealth of innovative concepts, eventually leading to innovative medical device design and development. In this blog, we’ll provide a few insights on the KMC ideation process for you to consider in your own brainstorming sessions.

Lean production is not a new concept in the manufacturing industry. Today, it is applied throughout our everyday life; we just often don’t recognize it. When done right, lean doesn’t just change the way you manufacture; it is a philosophy that changes the way you think about manufacturing. And it doesn’t only apply to the manufacturing floor...

Bob Marshall, chief editor of Med Device Online, recently published the fourth article in a series of five about medical device development and FDA approvals. In this article, he addresses the importance of validation and manufacturing transfer in the scheme of preparing for FDA inspections. “You have proven your concept, fully specified your design, and verified that the design output satisfies your design input requirements,” he states, “It is time for the most pivotal portion of the product development life-cycle. I like to call this fourth stage; validation/manufacturing transfer.” He calls this phase the dress rehearsal for commercialization.

When your medical device development project is under pressure to get to market and the project is critical to your company’s success, you'll need a dedicated outsourcing partner who can provide engineering expertise that includes sustaining engineering. How can sustaining engineering ensure successful handoff to manufacturing?  KMC's  executive director of engineering, Scott Leon, weighs in.  

We hope to see you in San Diego for AACC 2017! Every year we look forward to connecting with global leaders in clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, translational medicine
 and other areas of groundbreaking discoveries in medical and life science innovation. KMC Systems will be at booth 5423. Please stop by!
