Product lifecycle

Intelligence from product definition through post-market evolution.

Current investigation capabilities anchor a broader lifecycle vision. Future areas are identified clearly without implying working functionality.

The medical device lifecycle as a loop, from concept, design controls, verification and validation, regulatory submission, manufacturing and distribution to post-market surveillance, whose findings feed the next design.

Design and development

Medical device design and development phases.

Each phase leaves design-control records: user needs, design inputs and outputs, verification, validation and the risk file. When a field problem appears, investigators trace back through those records, which is where MDARIX starts.

Feedback loop. A field problem is traced back through these records.

Current capabilities

Lifecycle intelligence available today.

Supplier Intelligence

Understand supplier connections behind product signals.

A product issue may involve a component, material, supplier, or supplier change. MDARIX helps teams connect supplier and component information with product records and emerging signals, supporting clearer investigations and impact assessments.

Component Intelligence

See how component relationships affect product decisions.

Components connect product design, suppliers, manufacturing, risk, and field performance. MDARIX helps teams see these relationships in context, making it easier to assess whether a component-related issue may affect other products or versions.

Lot / Batch Intelligence

Assess lot and batch context when investigating product signals.

Lot and batch information can help teams assess the scope and distribution of a potential issue. MDARIX connects lot context with product, manufacturing, supplier, and post-market records to support structured investigation and impact review.

Change Intelligence

Understand the product impact of every change.

Changes to design, components, suppliers, processes, labeling, or software can affect requirements, risks, evidence, and products in the field. MDARIX helps teams connect change proposals to those relationships so impact assessments are supported by product context.

Post-Market Investigation

Turn post-market information into connected product insight.

Post-market surveillance brings together complaints, adverse events, service information, returns, trends, and other field evidence. MDARIX connects this information to products, versions, lots, risks, investigations, and decisions so teams can review emerging signals in context.

Signal Intelligence

Catch a rising trend before the next lot ships.

A count rule and a trend check compare each product version's last 30 days with its own history, counted per unit in the field. A signal opens a case in one click with every complaint attached. Service, return and adverse-event feeds come later.

Evidence Intelligence

Make lifecycle evidence easier to find, connect, and evaluate.

Evidence is most useful when reviewers can see the product question, risk, investigation, or decision it supports. MDARIX preserves source, version, date, provenance, contradictions, limitations, and missing links across the lifecycle.

CAPA Intelligence

Prove that each corrective action worked.

A signed decision opens its CAPA, and MDARIX shows which CAPAs were closed without an effectiveness check, which checks are overdue and which have none planned. The full CAPA workflow stays in your QMS.

Future

Broader lifecycle intelligence

Strategy, requirements, design controls, regulatory, clinical, manufacturing operations, field actions and recalls, continuous monitoring, and retirement remain roadmap areas. AI assistance is switched on in a pilot once it is validated.

Future

Where the lifecycle vision goes next.

Planned as part of the broader MDARIX Medical Device Product Lifecycle Intelligence platform. This section is informational and does not represent available functionality.

FutureProduct Strategy

Turn market and patient needs into a governed product direction.

Frame the intended use, target users, clinical problem, market need, business goals, and regulatory pathway before detailed design work begins.

FutureUser / Clinical Need

Define the clinical need and the outcome the device must support.

Connect user needs, patient populations, care settings, clinical risks, and measurable outcomes so product requirements begin with a clear clinical purpose.

FutureProduct Requirements

Translate user needs into traceable product requirements.

Establish functional, safety, performance, usability, software, security, and regulatory requirements with ownership, rationale, and verification intent.

FutureDesign & Development

Manage design decisions with evidence attached to every requirement.

Coordinate design outputs, interfaces, risk controls, configuration decisions, and revisions while preserving traceability from requirement to implementation.

FutureDesign Controls

Make design controls visible from planning through release.

Organize design inputs, outputs, reviews, verification, validation, change control, and approval evidence into a reviewable design history.

FutureVerification & Validation

Show that the design meets its specified requirements.

Bring test protocols, results, deviations, failures, corrective actions, and approval records together so verification status is inspectable and complete.

FutureClinical Intelligence

Connect clinical evidence to product decisions.

Maintain the relationship between clinical evaluation, intended use, benefit-risk reasoning, usability evidence, and the product configuration under review.

FutureRegulatory Intelligence

Prepare a traceable regulatory evidence story.

Draft regulatory narratives from the evidence of the exact product version, with every statement citing its source. MDARIX drafts for your team to review and approve; it does not submit anything to a regulator.

FutureManufacturing Intelligence

Connect released design intent to manufacturing reality.

Relate manufacturing processes, suppliers, components, lots, deviations, inspections, and release records back to the approved product configuration.

FutureField Action / Recall Intelligence

Coordinate field action decisions with complete product scope.

Identify affected versions, lots, markets, customers, risk rationale, communications, execution status, and evidence for a controlled field action.

FutureContinuous Monitoring

Continuously watch product performance and evidence quality.

Track trends, thresholds, open unknowns, supplier performance, complaint patterns, and changes that may alter the product risk picture.

FutureProduct Retirement

Retire products with traceability and accountability.

Preserve the final configuration, support obligations, residual risks, records, customer impact, and regulatory responsibilities through product retirement.

Design partners

Bring one real investigation. See the whole story in one place.

Start with exports from your quality, product and supplier systems. Your systems of record stay where they are.
