Requirements management made simple with Matrix Req
The challenge
Managing Requirements, Risk & Traceability across the product lifecycle
- Siloed RequirementsEngineering, quality, regulatory affairs, and risk teams often store requirements in disconnected tools, making it hard to keep information consistent and up-to-date.
- Regulatory ComplexityMedical devices must meet multiple global standards (FDA QSR, EU MDR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971), each demanding rigorous documentation, traceability, and audit evidence.
- Traceability BreakdownsMaintaining end-to-end traceability between design inputs, risks, tests, and outcomes is mandatory. Any missed connections during design reviews or audits could lead to a non-conformity.
- Time-Consuming Audit PreparationWithout automated traceability and centralised control, preparing for compliance audits or regulatory inspections is resource-intensive and stressful.
- Manual Risk ManagementRisk activities often live outside core development workflows, leading to manual updates, missed links between risks and requirements, and outdated risk matrices.
- Collaboration GapsLack of a unified platform leads to misalignment between R&D, QA, RA, and operations, extending review cycles and slowing product releases.
Our solution
Complete Traceability, Automated & AI-powered Compliance & Much more.
- Unified Requirements RepositoryCapture, manage, and organise all requirements, design artifacts, and test cases in one secure system. No more scattered documents.
- Built-In ComplianceImport your standard, create your own regulatory checklist and our AI Compliance checker will highlight all the gaps and suggest modifications.
- True End-to-End TraceabilityLink requirements to design outputs, risks, and V&V tests. Live trace reports show exactly who did what, when, and why, so you're always ready for audits.
- Integrated Risk ManagementPlan, track, and mitigate risks with configurable ISO 14971-aligned templates. Risks link to requirements and tests, ensuring every safety concern is documented.
- AI includedMatrix Mind drafts requirements, risks and test cases, and the AI Compliance Checker imports a standard, builds a checklist and shows your gaps. Both are included, not a paid add-on, and run under a zero data retention agreement with the AI provider.
- Ready-for-audit documentationGenerate technical documentation and trace tables directly from live project data, with red line comparison between any two versions and signed snapshots. Used for 510(k), PMA and CE Mark submissions.
