What does “certification-ready” mean?

In medical robotics, “certification-ready” indicates that components are designed, manufactured, and documented in alignment with international standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, IEC 62304, FDA 21 CFR, CE MDR). While not yet certified, these components are supported by full documentation, testing, traceability, and risk management systems. This reduces time-to-market, ensures safety, and prevents costly redesigns.

Key Design Considerations

Regulatory Compliance
  • Align design strategy with intended regulatory path (FDA, CE, etc.).
  • Build to applicable standards (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, IEC 62304, FDA, MDR).
Material Selection
  • Use biocompatible, sterilizable, and traceable materials (ISO 10993).
  • Ensure RoHS and REACH compliance for environmental safety.
Risk Management
  • Apply ISO 14971 for systematic hazard analysis, risk assessment, and mitigation.
  • Use tools such as FMEA, hazard analysis, and risk matrices.
Software and Firmware
  • Follow IEC 62304 for embedded software.
  • Maintain lifecycle documentation and cybersecurity provisions.
Cleanroom and Sterilization
  • Manufacture in ISO-classified cleanrooms where required.
  • Design for sterilization methods (autoclave, gamma, etc.).
Mechanical and Electrical Safety
  • Address leakage currents, EMC, vibration, shock, and thermal endurance.
  • Ensure load and tolerance compliance with functional and safety needs.
Traceability and Documentation
  • Maintain full traceability of materials, suppliers, and processes.
  • Document design inputs, outputs, verification, validation, and changes.
  • Keep manufacturing and inspection records under a controlled system.
