Greenlight Guru, developer of a Medical Device Success Platform (MDSP), has announced the launched of Greenlight Guru Products, a workspace and functionality to aid medical device product development teams gain more control of continuous product development. 

This includes building bills of materials (BOMs) and connecting product information to their design history file (DHF) and quality actions—all in one place.

Disconnected tools and data silos pose the risk for common errors during product development that increase costs, delays, and compliance risks when bringing a device to market. This can turn a team’s focus from design to cumbersome paperwork and information management.

Brandon Henning, vice president of product at Greenlight Guru, said: “We found in our 2022 industry benchmark survey that 70% of employees in development roles believe that innovation in the medical device field is driven by investing in the right solutions and resources that support design and development. Our Medical Device Success Platform, and the new addition of Greenlight Guru Products, does just that. It allows medical device companies to build, evolve, and innovate upon their products without the worry of siloed and disconnected data.”

Greenlight Guru Products enables teams to build and manage items, multi-level BOMs, and product families throughout the design of medical devices. They can link product information within Greenlight Guru and leverage full traceability with engineering change management as designs change and evolve.

Adam Cargill, director of QA/RA/CA at MediView, added: “The fact that we can create product families and use item types across products and into product families is very useful. Greenlight Guru Products will allow us to keep track of our device components with traceability. Having the ability to build out a BOM connected with Greenlight Guru versus trying to manage it outside the system or in a word document/excel sheet is wonderful.”
