Cardiac & MedTech Expertise
We have extensive experience in the development of Class II and Class III medical devices.
From sophisticated cardiac support devices involving heartbeat assistive technologies, to implantable aortic devices, to wearable neurostimulation products and cutting edge diagnostic portable x-ray machines. Hydrix has helped clients demonstrate proof of principle designs, manage the inherent challenges faced in proving core technologies, create functional prototypes and find manufacturing partners. Underpinning the development effort we navigate the regulatory pathways which preclude market release, helping our clients transition from the benchtop through animal, first-in-human and clinical trials, and ultimately out into the market.
Certifications & Design Standards
We have a dedicated and fully ISO 13485 certified Class II & III medical device development group with deep portfolio experience and the know how to deliver high end, high risk projects. Our dedicated regulatory group understands the need for a regulatory strategy, and so throughout the research and development lifecycle, plan and implement a regulatory approach to support the submission process. Working with our Clients we develop the necessary documentation to support all De Novo, IDE, PMA, 510(k) or other new product introductions.
Our medical device design process is also fully compliant to:
-
ISO 14971 – Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices
-
IEC 60601 - Safety for Programmable Electrical Medical Systems
-
IEC 62304 - Medical Software life cycle process for medical devices
-
21CFR820 – Good Manufacturing Practice
