Core Features

Purpose-built tools to manage every aspect of your medical device design process.

Establish, Maintain and Manage TraceabilityLink design items across categories to build a structured design tree. Instantly spot traceability that is broken, missing, or outdated.
  • Usability Engineering: Integrate human factors and usability testing into your process.

  • Global Regulatory Coverage: Support FDA, MDR, and other regional requirements.

  • Connectivity Support: Manage requirements and risks related to Bluetooth, mobile apps, and cloud.

Impact AnalysisSee the full impact of any change instantly.
  • End-to-end Traceability: Identify affected requirements, risks, and tests in real time.

  • Integrated Risk Assessment: Evaluate consequences on device safety and performance.

  • Change Management: Every change reviewed, documented, and approved.

Create New Designs from Existing OnesReuse existing projects to accelerate development of new products or variants.
  • Master Project Sync: Bring items from a master project and keep them updated.

  • Flexible Copying: Copy and adapt content independently, without synchronization.

  • Customizable Output: Render content to fit the needs of each project.

Manage Verification and Validation ActivitiesCreate and execute test protocols and test cases directly traceable to your requirements. Every test automatically generates a timestamped result record, keeping your design control audit-ready at all times.
Branch and Merge Development ProjectsRun parallel workstreams without destabilizing your main project.
  • Independent Branching: Isolate changes for experimentation without risk.

  • Flexible Merging: Merge changes back with built-in conflict resolution.

  • Full Audit Trail: Track all changes for traceability and version control.

Accelerate Development with AI-Powered RequirementsGenerate compliant requirements and test cases from your product data — in minutes.
  • Auto-Generation: Produce clear requirements and matching test cases instantly.

  • Better Coverage: Improve quality and reduce errors across your documentation.

  • Human-in-the-Loop: Stay in control with validation at every step.
