WP 26-1 MDR, IVDR and ISO 13485 - Why Process Control Is the Real Key to ComplianceHow much of the work involved in medical device compliance is shaped by decisions made before the validation protocols are written?

For adhesive bonding, the choice of adhesive, dispensing equipment and curing method can make a substantial difference. Each unnecessary process variable adds something else to understand, validate and control throughout the product’s manufacturing life. Could a simpler bonding process reduce that burden?

Our new white paper, EU MDR, EU IVDR and ISO 13485: Why Process Control Is the Real Key to Compliance, explores this connection. I wrote it to help explain how the regulations and quality management standard fit together, then to consider what this means for you engineers who are developing medical device bonding processes.

Documentation is essential, but it needs to be supported by evidence of a capable, controlled and repeatable process. The paper examines how early engineering decisions can simplify validation, improve manufacturing consistency and reduce ongoing effort and risk.

Read the white paper to explore how your bonding process choices can make compliance easier to demonstrate and maintain. If you want to know how we can help you with your medical device assembly, look here.
