Camstar Hits $20 Million Milestone in Medical Device Market in the Last 6 Months; Company Gains Momentum with Quality and Paperless DHR Offering for Multi-site Manufacturers.

CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Camstar Systems, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise manufacturing and quality systems for life sciences and other global manufacturers, announced today that it has secured $20 million in orders from medical device manufacturers in the last six months. Camstar, which first entered into the Medical Device market 18 months ago, provides quality and paperless device history record (DHR) systems to medical device manufacturers, such as drug eluting stents, defibrillators and optical equipment and lenses.

"Camstar's engagement process, effective implementation strategy and solid product technology have led to strong customer satisfaction," said Greg Gorbach, Research Director, ARC Advisory Group. "The commitment to customers is further illustrated by the company's Web-based eDHR solution designed specifically to meet the medical device industry's quality and compliance requirements. Camstar is one of the only companies with the infrastructure to support a truly paperless device history record. This not only differentiates Camstar, but it puts the company in an excellent competitive position."

Camstar's InSite Medical Device Edition demonstrates the company's thought leadership and quickly has become the leading Enterprise Manufacturing and Quality Management solution for the medical device industry. It helps medical device manufacturers increase manufacturing yields, improve quality, and more easily comply with the FDA's Quality System Regulation. Specifically, it includes electronic DHRs, electronic work instructions, non-conformance management, corrective and preventative action, operator certification and e-signatures, and lean manufacturing management.

"Unlike any other offering available, Camstar's InSite allows manufacturers to configure manufacturing model and data collection requirements without programming," said Dave Cone, president and CEO of Camstar. "InSite's adaptability and distributed architecture allow users to manage and monitor multi-site manufacturing activities, including synchronization with ERP business processes."

Camstar recently introduced Rapid eDHR(TM), the first integrated paperless device history record system designed specifically for medical device manufacturers of any size. "Less than five percent of the medical device manufacturing market has gone paperless, so we have significant growth opportunities ahead of us," said Cone.

Camstar leverages more than 20 years of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) experience and best-of-breed technologies that have helped manufacturers improve operations performance, shorten manufacturing cycle times and reduce the cost of compliance.
