Medical technology: a technical article published
MEDengineering carries a multi-page technical report on the relaunch of the VADOplex therapy device, which we delivered for OPED.
Issue 4/2022 of MEDengineering, the trade journal for designers and developers of medical devices, carries a multi-page technical report by querdenker engineering.
The article covers the fundamental relaunch of the VADOplex therapy device, which querdenker engineering delivered on behalf of OPED.
The rework of the VADOplex covered hardware and software development, the programming of a PC tool, integration with the ERP system and regulatory approval management. Alongside improvements to the therapy algorithm, we paid close attention to keeping the device fit for the future, particularly in terms of connectivity. The aim of the relaunch was a high-quality therapy device optimised for use, designed for the required service life of more than ten years and easy to repair. The project as a whole ran for about three years.
The VADOplex contains a great deal of embedded software and therefore has to meet international safety standards. As part of the contract development, querdenker engineering prepared the complete software documentation to IEC 62304 for regulatory approval and supported the approval process on the client's behalf.
The core tasks in the further development of the product were:
- embedded software development and programming of the therapy algorithm
- programming a PC application with a USB interface for users to import data
- programming a data interface to the ERP system for better process management
- hardware: schematic development and PCB design
- software development and regulatory approval documentation to IEC 62304
Wishing you plenty of good lateral thinking,
