Our medical device product development process
Developing medical devices requires more than just creativity, it demands structure, regulations, and deep user understanding. MMID’s medical device development process is built around our certified LUCID method that is compliant to ISO 13485 , guiding clients from idea to validated, market-ready product. Below is how each of the seven stages applies to healthcare:
1. Vision
We explore clinical needs, market trends, and applicable regulations such as FDA Class I/II/III or MDR. We conduct user and stakeholder research, competitor analysis, and align on strategic goals. Our team ensures that the mandatory design input is collected, ensuring compliance with ISO 13485 and relevant healthcare standards.
2. Definition
We generate and visualize multiple design directions, develop functional solutionis, and gather early user feedback. Concept risk assessments are conducted to identify technical or regulatory challenges early in the medical device product development process. Well documented development, requirement management and risk management, secure full grip on the development process.
3. Specification
We define the full specification of the device, including functional, design, production specifications such as: selected components, materials, tolerances, interfaces etc. We prepare verification protocols and ensure that every design decision is traceable, documented, and ready for formal testing.
4. Verification
We develop and test a fully functional and looking like series product prototype against previously defined requirements. This includes usability testing, technical validation, and maintaining complete traceability for design change management.
5. Optimization
Learnings from verification are implemented to refine the product. We improve mechanical robustness, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness, without compromising compliance or usability.
6. Realisation
Production tooling and small series are finalized. We work with selected suppliers to align manufacturing capabilities with medical-grade requirements and ensure a smooth transfer to production. Quality control on achieving specifications, ensures the safety and effectiveness of the product.
7. Implementation
The medical device is validated for market release. Regulatory documentation is completed, including submission files. Once approved, the product enters the market where MMID can support in evaluating post-market surveillance and product lifecycle follow-up.
Regulatory compliance built into every step
In healthcare product development, there’s no room for shortcuts. At MMID, medical device compliance is embedded into every phase of our process, not as an afterthought, but as a guiding principle.
We’re experienced with major international standards, including ISO 13485, FDA regulations (Class I, II, III), and the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Whether you’re preparing a new diagnostic device, wearable system, or lab solution, we help you meet the necessary regulatory requirements for global markets.
From early concept to final implementation, our teams ensure that your Design History File (DHF) is properly structured and maintained. Risk management, traceability, and documentation are integrated into our workflow. This makes sure that you have all of the input to stay audit-ready and meeting standards throughout the entire medical device product development lifecycle.
With MMID, you gain a development partner who understands not just how to create a great product, but how to ensure it meets the rigorous demands of the healthcare industry.
