(Sciemetric Instruments: Ottawa, Canada) -- Sciemetric Instruments has announced the general availability of SigPOD Medical, a system to verify parts and processes in the manufacturing of medical devices.

Regulatory initiatives such as the Food and Drug Administration’s Process Analytical Technology and the Global Harmonization Task Force, are driving medical device manufactures to reduce risk in production processes and apply in-process verification. These manufacturers are also shifting to increasing volume and decreasing margins and moving from batch to single-part flow systems. These factors lead to the need for automated, in-process verification and the ability to maintain traceability records on production activities.

“Medical device manufacturers are looking to gain from the experience of high volume, high complexity manufacturing environments for tools and techniques to assist in controlling product and process variability,” says Nathan Sheaff, founder of Sciemetric.
