Medical Electronics Manufacturers Gain Speed to Market and Control in Meeting Quality Regulations

BOSTON -- CIMTEK, the market innovator's first choice for managing product quality, has announced an upgrade to its Magellon Quality Lifecycle Management (QLM QLM Quick License Manager

) software - giving medical device-makers a streamlined way to rapidly deliver quality products and maintain compliance with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations The New Deal program of legislation enacted during the administration of President franklin roosevelt established a large number of new federal agencies, which generated a shapeless and confusing mass of new regulations.  (CFR CFR

) Part 11.

The solution brings together the data, analysis and processes required to bring high-quality products to market, quickly and efficiently. Magellon now includes electronic device history record data capture and storage to trace key product test, quality and manufacturing process records electronically, from design through manufacturing and post-sales support.

Magellon answers medical electronic manufacturers' 100 percent quality imperative: Ensure safe and efficient patient care while eliminating the potential for devastating dev·as·tate

Its browser-based interface fronts a powerful database engine that overcomes the challenging, highly fragmented approach to collecting, analyzing and storing data, often in a wide variety of formats. Providing real-time access to the manufacturing floor, the software remotely monitors quality, testing and production performance around the world.

"The new product introduction cycle can no longer be hindered by manually chasing down compliance information."

The FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 requires that electronic records and signatures be created, maintained and archived throughout medical product development cycles. Until now, collecting and organizing this information has been a resource-intensive, fragmented process for most medical manufacturers.
