Medical Electronics Manufacturing Quality & Standards
Trusted partner with ISO 13485
Medical electronics manufacturing is a challenging process due to strict regulations in the industry, which both OEM and EMS providers must comply with. ISO 13485 certification plays an important role in ensuring that manufacturing and product quality meet national regulations. Assel is ISO 13485 certificated since 2015.
Components' traceability allows us to provide our Customers with detailed information about the critical materials used in their products, including their manufacturing batch information or unique serial numbers. Such information allows us to track the history of when the component was produced by the manufacturer and then used in our manufacturing process. This helps to support our customers with clear information about affected product batches in any device's lot recall from the field need.
Material Traceability
Product traceability become an EMS standard these days. Nevertheless, parts traceability goes even further and is a process that we use to track and record every single selected component’s flow throughout the manufacturing process. This involves recording the manufacturer batch number (Lot Number) or a unique identifier of each material, component, or part and then tracking them as they move through each stage of production.
Such an approach requires an EMS to implement a dedicated set of rules, standards, systems, record retention, and data backup policies implemented. These aspects are touching every phase of material and product flow in the EMS facility but also can contain additional requirements already to the material manufacturer or supplier.
By implementing such parts traceability, we can ensure that all materials and components used in our products meet the Customer's requirement, thus expected functionality, quality, and safety standards. Furthermore, it allows us to quickly identify and address any issues that may arise. This is especially important in the Medical electronics industry, where the reliability of products is critical to the health and safety of users and is governed by regulations.
