Quality Assurance (Production related)
Process Engineering
Robust and reliable processes are the basis of good manufacturing practice for pharmaceutical products or medical devices.
Our Process Engineers are well-versed in the current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) which serves to achieve the most effective results. Whether your project requires a Lean approach, Kaizen application, or the utilisation of Six Sigma, our Process Engineers apply the right selection of tools and methodologies to fit the individual challenges within your quality management system.
Biocompatibility, Sterility & Product Cleanliness
A structured procedure for biological assessment which follows ISO 10993 forms a vital part of an effective manufacturing process.
Our Biocompatibility experts can help to fulfil this standard for your devices, by supporting with early stage evaluations, or remediation activity for an existing product portfolio. By systematically assessing the biological hazards of proposed materials either at the start of product development, or for existing products, our aim is to save you time and money, and to ensure lasting patient safety.
ISO 17664 specifies the requirements for the information to be provided regarding the processing of a medical device that needs cleaning, disinfection and / or sterilisation to ensure the device is safe and effective for its intended use.
Our experienced sterility expert team can help you interpret this standard, and define what is appropriate and essential for your device development.
If your device is sterile, we can also support you in the implementation and application of the regulatory requirements for individual sterilisation methods and sterile medical devices including; upstream cleaning, primary packaging of sterile products and sterile barriers.
Equipment & Infrastructure Qualification
The use of equipment or infrastructures that have a direct or indirect influence on product performance or product safety must be qualified in advance before use.
We can support you in the development and execution of the qualification process to help ensure your medical devices are manufactured with qualified equipment and infrastructure.
Process Validation
Our Process Validation experts know how to efficiently fulfil the appropriate GMP rules and requirements to ensure the acceptance of the capability of your manufacturing processes.
We can help you to set up and execute efficient, stable, and risk-based validation processes to support in this area.
Test Method Validation
Inspection & test equipment is the focal point of every inspection or audit, and equipment control goes beyond the standard calibration process.
We can support you in this area by defining and executing test method validation including measurement systems analysis (MSA) to ensure your products are tested to consistent standards. This will provide you with robust and reliable data from which to develop your product as required on the journey to device registration and commercialisation.
Quality Control
Quality Control & Control Strategy
By providing tailored support at every step along the production process, our Quality Control experts can help you to guarantee that all products are manufactured, assembled, and inspected according to the relevant standards along the entire product life cycle.
As a result, your finished product will be safe, reliable, and compliant.
