What Clients Say about RBC’s Medical Device Prototyping

“My relationship with RBC spans three different companies and 15 years. I return to the RBC team because they consistently deliver innovative solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner. I plan to continue this relationship for many years to come!”

“RBC has provided us with a broad range of expertise, from electrical and software design to quality assurance and regulatory affairs. It would have been unlikely we could have hit our scheduled milestones without their help.”

We were a young start up with a great technology, but were running into issues that our manufacturing partner could not explain. Over a year later and still no clear solution, I engaged RBC to perform an independent analysis. Within 24 hours, they not only identified the issue, but also presented solutions to correct it. RBC came forward with the level of expertise that was necessary to help turn around the situation, allowing REACT to bring our advanced neuromuscular therapy to patients who need it.

“We were introduced to RBC during an acquisition. They were able to help define, develop proof-of-concept, prototype, fully develop, support in-vivo testing, certify, help gain regulatory approval and produce the first 100 units for a complex therapeutic device in less than two years. All of this in the midst of negotiating legal terms for the acquisition. I look forward to working with RBC on our next product!”

“We began our relationship with RBC for more than eight years to design and manufacture several radio frequency ablation medical devices. They have the staff, facilities and expertise to quickly produce the products we need, and the flexibility to respond to changes. I have counted on RBC to produce in several tough situations and they always come through.”

“I have worked with RBC on a complex electro-mechanical product and recommended them to several friends. As impressed as I am with their ability to quickly produce quality outputs, I am more impressed with how they handle unexpected situations. Anyone who knows medical device development knows there are always unexpected situations. I highly recommend anyone who is developing a new electronic product contact RBC.”

“We needed a firm with expertise in energy-based products and accessories. We approached RBC and found that not only did they have the expertise, but they had pre-made subsystems to accelerate and “de-risk” the program. I have since moved to a different part of the industry, but my former company continues to work with RBC to provide development and manufacturing services as well as subsystems. You cannot beat RBC for energy-based products!”

Time-Tested Medical Device Prototyping Methods

When you work with RBC, we’ll walk you through the prototyping process to prepare your device for production:

Proof-of-Concept (POC) Prototype – Used to analyze if the product is realistic and suitable for production and to identify risks.

Concept Prototyping – See and feel how the device will look and function for the best user experience.

Form, Fit, and Function Prototype – A fully functional medical device to test for manufacturability and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This prototype can also be used in clinical trials.

Pre-Production Prototype – The final version of a product for verification and validation before the full production run.

Feasibility Support

Not all product designs are possible. Understanding how to make a realistic concept prototype can be challenging. This is especially true for smaller firms still in the early stages of growth and development.

With over 25 years of experience, the experts at RBC will guide you through the development process to ensure your concept is feasible for production.

We will perform a thorough assessment of all aspects of the design process, including:

Intellectual property research
Regulatory restrictions
Budgeting
Marketing approval
Manufacturing difficulties
And more

When you work with RBC, you can rest assured that your prototypes are feasible and ready for a full, issue-free production run.

Advanced Mechanical Engineering Capabilities

There is no guesswork at RBC. When we start a project, our skilled mechanical engineers thoroughly research the eventual users’ needs to ensure the effectiveness of the final product.

Benefit from our wide range of mechanical engineering services, which include:

Electromechanical systems design
Modeling solids and surfaces with CAD applications
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
Finite element analysis (FEA) to determine structural, thermal, and magnetic relationships.
Design consideration for plastic, metal, and rubber injection molding.
And more

Our engineers use hard data to combine customer insights and regulatory demands into detailed mechanical requirements. This extensive process ensures your product is the best it can be.

Seamless Manufacturing Design Transfer

At RBC, everything from product design and prototyping to testing and development is done in-house. This helps us reduce transition times exponentially.

Our design and development team works closely with the manufacturing team at every step of the process. This ensures a seamless transition from design to production.

Thanks to this rapid transitional process, we can accelerate project timelines by an average of 60% over our competitors.

If there are production issues, the design team will be there to troubleshoot within minutes.

A more efficient process reduces the cost to prototype a medical device. It also ensures faster completion to help prepare your product for the market.
