Common frustrations with LDRA Assured
Teams switching from LDRA Assured consistently report the same pain points.
Requirements management made simple with Matrix Req
Managing Requirements, Risk & Traceability across the product lifecycle
Complete Traceability, Automated & AI-powered Compliance & Much more.
Siloed Requirements and Fragmented Documentation
Engineering, quality, and regulatory teams store requirements in disconnected tools, making it hard to keep information consistent. When one requirement changes, you manually hunt down every affected test, risk, and specification.
Unified Requirements Repository
Capture, manage, and organise all requirements, design artefacts, and test cases in one secure system. Every item is versioned, searchable, and auditable.
Regulatory Complexity Across Jurisdictions
Medical devices must meet multiple global standards — FDA QSR 21 CFR 820, EU MDR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971 — each demanding rigorous documentation, traceability, and audit evidence.
Built-In Compliance with Global Standards
Import your standard, create your own regulatory checklist and our AI Compliance checker will highlight all the gaps you may have and suggest modifications.
Traceability Breakdowns Across the Lifecycle
Maintaining end-to-end traceability between design inputs, risks, tests, and outcomes is mandatory. Any missed connections during design reviews or audits can lead to non-conformities and deferred time to market.
True End-to-End Traceability
Link requirements to design outputs, risks, and verification/validation tests. Live trace reports show exactly who did what, when, and why — so you are always ready for audits.
Time-Consuming Audit Preparation
Without automated traceability and centralised control, preparing for compliance audits or regulatory inspections is resource-intensive and stressful — slowing time to market.
AI-Powered Compliance
AI-assisted requirements authoring, risk detection, and test case generation dramatically reduce manual effort — freeing engineers to focus on building safe devices rather than administering paperwork.
