SCAR – A Favorite Acronym
Medical device manufacturers should have a tool for communicating supplier issues back to their suppliers; and it’s always better to have documentation.

Improving the Reliability of Usability Evaluations
The results of usability testing and expert reviews can be inconsistent across evaluators. How can we make these more reliable?
MHLW MO 169 – Chapter 3 – Training
Training is one of the areas that result in many non-conformances being issued during quality system audits.

The Beauty of Nature
This week we explore the collected knowledge of work by three research institutes (National Academy of Sciences, Seoul National University and UC Santa Barbara) to image possibles within our medical device design and development applications.
MHLW MO 169 – Chapter 3 – Corrective Actions
Corrective action should never be considered a bad thing; in fact, a fully functional approach to CAPA can result in a viable tool for driving organizational change.

MHLW MO 169 – Chapter 3 – Control of Nonconforming Products
When it comes to identifying and controlling nonconforming product, place significant emphasis on the need for a robust system, premised on well-written procedures. It is always a bad thing for nonconforming product to find its way into the supply chain.

The Rise of Mobile Health and the Importance of Human Factors
The implementation of human factors engineering throughout the design process will be critical for emerging mobile health applications, not only because FDA is regulating these new mobile medical devices, but because it’s good practice and is an essential tool for decreasing patient safety risks while increasing usability and effectiveness.
Spring Design in Product Development
If required in the product, the spring is probably the least expensive component of the assembly. However, if it does not function as intended or fails, it can become a warranty issue which can be quite expensive as far as repair, loss of sales and product reputation.

Water – The Solvent Future
Why should we go back to using water as a solvent? Water-based chemistry has simple operations, high synthetic efficiency, safety benefits, low-cost reactions, and a high potential to generate new synthetic methodologies that can that can be patented to protect your product.
