April 2021 Newsletter – Better Approach to Medical Device Development
Let’s Get Back to Basics
Medical device development is often discussed in terms of adhering to new regulations or standards. While the complexities of good compliance are certainly important, it’s easy for teams to overlook the basics of what’s needed to successfully develop an innovative new product, namely knowledge.
Product teams need to acquire a deep knowledge across five different domains to successfully Get a Grip on Medical Device Development.
Mastering all five domains of knowledge, while a basic principle, can be a complex undertaking. This requires you to assemble a truly cross-functional team and provide them the time and space to close any knowledge gaps before fully entering into development.
Our featured guest blogger Russ Singleton explains how to set the stage early for successful development and empower product teams to overcome obstacles and get to the finish line. He describes his experience in developing highly complex, innovative new products—from semiconductor manufacturing equipment to molecular diagnostic systems to surgical robotics–and shares the importance of a “Phase Zero.”
