As with many industries, product development is brimming with acronyms. URS, PRS, uFMEA, UKCA, FDA, IFU…the list goes on. We, as a development consultancy (whose very name is an acronym) are used to dealing with the abbreviated form of these terms, but we also understand how difficult it is for someone starting out on their development journey to navigate a landscape peppered with jargon! So, helpful as ever, we’ve put together this blog to help you understand some of the terms and differentiate your IFUs from your uFMEAs. NDA – Nondisclosure agreement NDA is a term you will he ..read more

Since 2014, International Women In Engineering Day has been highlighted on our calendars; the 23rd of July is the perfect opportunity to reflect, celebrate and learn about the profiles and achievements of female engineers worldwide. More than once, I’ve heard people ask an interesting question: “Why should women in engineering get a special day when men don’t?” There are a few reasons that could explain this. Firstly, there is still gender disparity today but it’s not always apparent – sometimes it’s hidden in plain sight. Secondly, it can promote role models who may encourage younge ..read more

In an era where technology increasingly intersects with healthcare, the advent of connected medical devices and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) offers opportunities to revolutionise patient care.

The additional and evolving threats introduced by increasing connectivity pose new challenges both in terms of securing patient data and ensuring the continued rel ..read more

For many years, the perceived wisdom in the medical device sector was to always launch in your home territory first. For UK- and EU-based companies, this meant obtaining a CE mark and then turning their attention to the US. However, in recent years the delays in medical device regulatory approvals within the EU have prompted UK- and EU-based startups to re-evaluate this approach, with most now opting to pursue approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first. At eg technology, we are seeing an increasing demand for our design services from European companies targeting US ..read more

If you follow our content, you might have heard us mention the importance of a having a defined product development process once or twice…OK, maybe a little more often than that. We think it is single handedly the most important part of product development. But why, I hear you ask? Surely, if you have a pretty good idea of where you are going, you can get there without too much disruption…I mean, Robin Sharma said “sometimes you have to get off track to discover a better track”. There must be something in that, right? Well, Robin Sharma may be a respected humanitarian author, but he isn ..read more
