Introduction to Medical Device Development at Criador Labs
At Criador Labs, our goal is to be at the forefront of MedTech innovation and regulatory precision. We have worked with start-ups and mid-sized firms, as well as enterprise clients, through each stage of the healthcare development lifecycle. As a medical device development company in India, we guide projects from the first sketch until final production.
How We Work
Our Track Record
Regulatory Classes We Work With
1. Navigating US FDA Regulations
We design and manufacture devices that fall under the following categories:
Class I – These are medical devices that are considered low risk and are therefore subject to fewer checks
Class II – These are medical devices that are considered to be of moderate to high risk for patients or users. They usually have additional special controls, along with general controls, to ensure product safety and effectiveness.
Class III – These are extremely high-risk medical devices that are subject to stringent regulatory checks due to their potential to cause severe harm or, even be life-threatening in some cases.
This includes everything from oxygen masks to surgical instruments, infusion pumps, ECG monitors, and implantable systems.
Our support extends to managing risk in line with ISO 14971, preparing DHFs (Design History Files), and compiling PMA submissions or FDA 510(k).
2. Meeting CDSCO Standards in India
Medical Specialties We Cover As a Medical Device Development Company in India
- ENT (Otolaryngology): We have developed audiology aids, diagnostic scopes, and wireless endoscopes that deliver real-time assessments.
- Ophthalmology: We have developed diagnostic lenses and portable retinal imaging systems that function effectively in both remote and clinical settings.
- Cardiology: We specialise in heart rate monitors and wearable ECG patches that can securely and continuously track patient data.
- Pulmonology: We have designed oxygen saturation monitors and smart spirometers that deliver clinical-grade data in hospital or home settings.
- Neurology: We have worked on EMG sensors and neurostimulation wearables that can track neural pathways.
- General Surgery: We have engineered diagnostic tools and electrosurgical units that provide high accuracy and reliable safety in high-pressure environments.
- Gynaecology and Neonatal Care: We have designed neonatal thermoregulation systems and monitoring devices.
- Rehabilitation: We have built mobility aids and posture monitors that are widely used as rehabilitation applications.
Technology Expertise
1. Wireless and Embedded Systems
Our wireless systems are powered with seamless data transmission through Wi-Fi, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and Zigbee. Our embedded firmware is designed with real-time OS capabilities and power optimisation, which is essential for wearable or mobile devices.2. Sensor and Cloud Integration
Our team specialises in the integration of sensors such as PPG, ECG, motion, temperature, and SPO2 within power-efficient and compact hardware. We follow HIPAA rules across all apps and cloud setups. Patient records stay protected on every platform.
3. Prototyping and Testing
Our hardware is built for clinical use and includes compact forms, easy handling, and a reliable fit in care settings. As a product designing company, we use SLA/SLS 3D printing to develop fast, testable prototypes. Bench tests are conducted in-house for early validation. Whether it’s a wearable patch or a clinical diagnostic tool, we validate form and function before anything goes to scale.
4. Standards and Certification Prep
Our devices are IEC 60601 and IEC 61010 compliant, ensuring that electromagnetic interference and safety requirements are emphatically addressed.
Criador’s Medical Device Development Process
1. Step-by-Step Approach
We employ a modular development process that prioritises structure and compliance. Our process begins with risk analysis and discovery. This is essential to align user needs with significant regulatory and safety challenges.2. Design Input to Engineering
Once the design input is finalised, we proceed towards translating this to executable design requirements. At this stage, our multidisciplinary engineering and industrial design teams proceed with electrical, mechanical, and embedded development while ensuring design cohesion.3. Prototyping and Verification
At the next stage, we move on to rapid prototyping and bench testing. This is done using visual and functional models to validate initial assumptions quickly. At the verification stage, we confirm that all design outputs meet the inputs through structured testing.4. Documentation and Handoff
We provide complete regulatory documentation packages for FDA, CDSCO, or CE submissions. We also provide support for pilot production runs with supplier selection, DMR handoff, and quality control advisories. At every stage, our process aligns with ISO 13485:2016, FDA QSR, and EU MDR best practices.Why Choose Criador Labs for Medical Device Development?
