FPrin brings Risk Reduction and Design Assurance to Your Medical Device Vision
Our First Principles approach helps medical device design and development teams bring complex and reliable medical products to market using streamlined, proven processes.
FPrin is your go-to resource for tough medical device design and engineering challenges. We methodically guide teams through development roadblocks.
We save cost and time by reducing technical and schedule risk with effective use of analytical and empirical tools to develop a knowledge base to guide design decisions.
We dive deeply into the “why” to solve hard problems, help develop breakthrough products, and bring those products to market. Blending analytical and empirical data provides assurance to our clients.
3 Reasons Engineering and Development Teams Count On FPrin for Reliable, Market-ready Medical Products
We are most effective at helping teams make good design decisions and develop robust, reliable, manufacturable products. We do this in a way that builds confidence in the outcome.
Challenge
Missed Deadlines &
Bloated Budgets
Teams keep coming to dead-ends in their product development because they don’t have a good way of vetting conceptual designs. Because of this they often go over budget and miss critical schedule milestones.
Solution
Challenge
Difficulty Converging
to Robust Designs
Often teams don’t have a good process for making good, data-driven, design decisions they spend too much time and money guessing, building, testing, and iterating.
Solution
Challenge
Hoping for High Yields and Good Field Reliability
When teams don’t have a model-based understanding of their system, they have a hard time knowing how to interpret test data and fall into a “test-to-success” mindset which often does not converge in a way that meets functional, schedule, and budget objectives.
Solution
Commit to designs that will prove robust, scalable, and manufacturable based on data
FPrin's First Principles Approach to Engineering Medical Product Development
Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket
Why do product development teams need alternatives?
Risk mitigation requires design alternatives – a "plan B", and preferably a "plan C", in case "plan A" fails. Also, alternatives compel critical thinking and enable merit-based design decisions. If the egg breaks there are others waiting in the wings.
Measuring Twice & Cutting Once is Never Enough
FPrin’s process verifies simulations with simple tests. We are highly experienced in stressing a design in virtual simulation environments enabling early learning and iterating before building costly prototypes. This gives access to cases that are difficult or impossible to create without the expense of building many thousands of parts and assemblies.
Many Will Start Fast, Only a Few Will Finish Strong
We start by developing a model basis for your design that can accelerate design decisions in a more linear, cost effective, and faster development process. We are confident that appropriate scoping analyses, modeling and testing at a low level is superior to a build-test-iterate model that can feel fast, but typically takes longer and often produces less robust product.
FPrin is a trusted design, development and engineering partner.
