Meet our tech transfer team lineup

Submitted by biomerics_dev on Wed, 07/27/2022 - 16:32

Technology transfers involve a “sending team” and a “receiving team,” with members from your company and Biomerics’ engineers and project managers on both teams. To simplify and expedite the process, Biomerics assigns a primary, single point of contact Project Manager to work with a Project Manager from your company. We leverage the sending team’s historical knowledge and the Biomerics receiving team’s process expertise—including operators, technicians, supply chain planners and buyers, and quality team members—for a complete knowledge transfer.

Phase-gate approach

We have developed and refined our tech transfer approach over the past 25+ years of working with our customers to successfully transfer hundreds of manufacturing lines. Our phase-gate approach divides the tech transfer process into five phases:

Scableable nearshore operations

With more than 86,000 square feet of cleanroom space across the company, we have the facilities, equipment, and expertise to handle a full range of assembly needs in our technology Centers of Excellence. Our nine facilities are in key medical device hubs to serve our customers, each with excess manufacturing capacities.

In particular, our recently expanded Costa Rica facility offers high-volume, low-cost options, maximizing cost efficiencies throughout the process.

Product development example: Single-use endoscopes

In this example, we partner with a medical device OEM to design, develop, and manufacture a single-use endoscope.

Our customer sees a market opportunity
A new customer reaches out to us to develop a single-use endoscope, to be used to visualize the inside of the airways for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Our customer realizes that single-use endoscopes significantly reduce the chance of infection that occurs from reusing a sterilized endoscope, improving patient outcomes and helping surgeons sleep better at night.

Conduct design qualification

At the design qualification stage, we provide needed data points and information to verify and validate the product. The product should work like, look like and be made like a production product, as well as meet your original design intent (incorporating all requirements and inputs). The product we build for design qualification uses representative production parts.
