Product Development

There’s product development … and then there’s smart product development.

The latter starts with a big picture approach, and drills down to the smallest details. This is how SpectraMedEx operates, using more than three decades of industry experience to cover every possible consideration.

Some questions are obvious: What are a product’s options? Its market? How to find a manufacturer? How to get it onto the market?

Others might be less obvious: What are potential regulatory hurdles? How can a product’s features be designed for different formulaic category numbers? Are there possible legal ramifications? What about product liability insurance?

Someone who has successfully developed many products can only answer the last group of questions. SpectraMedEx has more than 60 to its credit. We ensure that your product development process addresses every vital factor – while simultaneously planning for flexibility, upgrades, and possible contingencies down the road.

In medical device product development, what you don’t consider can hurt you. It is just as important to knowing the answers as it is to understanding which questions to ask. SpectraMedEx focuses and recognizes on all the important angles to getting your product ready for market. Anything less just wouldn’t be smart.

“Big efforts,” “worldwide” and “talent” are the firsts words that come to my mind to describe John’s incredible way to reach goals. SpectraMedEx has helped Bioscience handle multiple projects, increasing dramatically our productivity. John’s company is the best partner for our regulatory worldwide projects.

CEO / NaviMetric

John has been helping us since the beginning, coaching us in every aspect of the FDA pathway. He first helped us to understand device classification, shared FDA and CE-related documentation that saved us a lot of time, and taught us about manufacturing and quality systems requirements. He is continually very generous about making intros to others who can help us. John’s wisdom is helping us to craft an effective strategy for our development process that not only saves us time and money, but also makes it clear to others (like investors) that we understand our regulatory position and know how to manage the associated risks.

As a small startup company developing a new product, we needed an outside resource that could quickly understand our business model, product and regulatory pathway while developing our quality management system. Initially I thought this would be an impossible task, but after our first meeting with John, we knew we had found the team that could help us. SpectraMedEx understood the idiosyncrasies of our startup business and quickly developed a top-notch quality management system and trained our employees on its use.
