Key Testing Capabilities of Fall River Labs
When it comes to medical device development, one size does not fit all. That’s why our labs are designed with flexibility in mind. Our advanced testing capabilities allow for customized solutions and protocols that meet the specific needs of each project.
Here are just a few of our key testing capabilities:
Advanced Prototyping Support
Developing a medical device often begins as a concept, but transforming that idea into a functional prototype is a complex and critical step. At our labs, we provide advanced prototyping support, using tools like 3D printing and robotics to refine designs.
This process ensures prototypes are as close as possible to the final product for further testing and validation. Our high-end infrastructure makes it possible for small companies to compete in a demanding and dynamic industry.
Whether you’re refining an existing medical device or starting from scratch, we help bring your vision to life.
Comprehensive Regulatory Testing
We understand the rigorous safety and performance standards that medical devices must meet. That’s why we handle compliance, risk assessment, and quality checks all under one roof, in our FDA-approved testing labs.
For medical device manufacturers, partnering with us streamlines the regulatory process, ensuring faster progress from development to market launch. Our comprehensive testing ensures that your innovative medical devices are safe, effective, and ready to improve patient outcomes.
Usability and Real-World Application Testing
Our testing processes go beyond technical specifications. We focus on optimizing devices for real-world applications, so healthcare professionals can rely on them in critical settings. Through high-fidelity simulations and hands-on bioskills training, we test devices under practical conditions.
These scenarios help uncover potential design adjustments and enhance performance, whether the device targets complex challenges like blood clots or aims to boost overall care efficiency.
Driving Innovation Through Collaboration
Innovation is a team effort, and we believe in the power of partnership. Our work is amplified through collaborations with organizations like Axial3D, Northeastern University, PrimaCARE, and RIMASYS Group.
These collaborations provide access to groundbreaking tools, leading research, and real-world expertise:
- Axial3D helps bolster prototyping and surgical training using sophisticated 3D printing technologies.
- Northeastern University connects our innovations to academic advancements, enriching the testing process.
- PrimaCARE supports us in delivering patient-centered training programs that prioritize healthcare improvement in our region.
- RIMASYS Group enhances our surgical education through simulations that challenge innovative medical devices in realistic scenarios.
By building these alliances, we create an ecosystem where both small startups and established manufacturers thrive together.
