The Challenge
A medical device manufacturer needed a cable assembly partner capable of working within ISO 13485 requirements, keeping lot-level traceability, and documenting inspection records for regulated production.
Key Pain Points:
- 1Supplier qualification and documentation requirements were strict
- 2Missing lot traceability for regulatory compliance
- 3Program timing depended on reliable sample and production support
- 4Assembly environment and handling controls needed to be defined
Requirements:
- ISO 13485:2016 certified production
- Complete lot-level traceability
- Biocompatible materials (patient contact)
- Controlled assembly and packaging workflow
Our Solution
We aligned the assembly workflow with ISO 13485 production controls, lot traceability, and customer-defined documentation requirements.
Controlled Assembly Workflow
We defined handling, work-instruction, inspection, and packaging controls for medical device cable assemblies according to the customer's released requirements.
Complete Documentation System
Full Device History Records (DHR) with lot-level traceability from raw materials to finished goods. Every wire, connector, and component tracked through barcode scanning and documented quality checks where required by the production file.
Audit-Ready Documentation
Our quality team prepared production travelers, inspection records, and traceability evidence so the buyer could review the build history without reconstructing it after shipment.
Biocompatible Materials Certification
Customer-specified patient-contact materials can be controlled to the approved BOM. Material certificates, lot traceability, and supplier qualification documentation are maintained when required by the program.
The Results
"This medical cable assembly program was handled as controlled manufacturing work, not a generic cable order. The focus stayed on approved materials, operator instructions, lot traceability, inspection records, and packaging requirements.
