(San Diego CA), (April 11, 2011) –

A medical device company specializing in designing and manufacturing small form-factor electronic devices has selected IntraStage Inc. to be a provider of their Test Data Management, Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Analytics software solution.

While medical device quality has always been critical to monitor, the current variety and volume of medical devices that consumers today have access to are shining the light on the need for monitoring quality at an unprecedented level. “Any recall events for a medical device manufacturer can have a serious impact on customer perceptions” says Harsh Wanigaratne, VP Sales & Marketing at IntraStage.  “There have been many high profile recall events that have shown massive market capitalization losses for the company in question along with substantial costs to investigate and fix the problem.”

The customer will firstly use IntraStage’s Data Collection and Analytics software to understand the characteristics of the device in the manufacturing environment before it ever gets in the hand of the consumer.  In addition, it will use device return and repair information to proactively find trends which could adversely impact operation and implement solutions before a recall event is necessary.
