Develop Your Concept
HDA Has Developed Consistent, Effective Design Controls for Medical Devices
The FDA strictly enforces regulations that reduce the likelihood of medical devices and healthcare-related harming consumers. Additionally, their quality system regulation requires medical device manufacturers to establish and adhere to controls through the development process.
Our development team streamlines product development and regulatory certification by implementing efficient, quality-preserving design controls. These design controls inform our processes throughout the development and manufacturing of your product, guaranteeing that the finished product is safe and effective.
As an ISO13485, FDA, and FDB-certified medical device manufacturer, HDA has helped countless companies meet FDA design control standards. By placing the needs of the user first, HDA guarantees that the product is FDA-compliant:
- What are the needs of the user?
- Does the device meet the user’s needs?
- Does the device present any safety concerns?
Failing to address these questions can lead to significant setbacks in product development. Through years of hands-on experience in product development, HDA has developed a proven process for successful validation.
HDA Documents Development Step-by-Step
We focus on forming device design controls early in the development process to mitigate challenges in the later stages of production. Evidence-supported development and strategies inform the unique design specifications of a medical device product.
HDA uses medical device design controls to create a design history file (DHF) for your product. In addition, we maintain comprehensive documentation that confirms the functional, technical, and regulatory requirements of the design and development, and manufacturing processes to produce the product consistently.
Our thorough documentation includes a product-specific DHF which tracks the design controls process and product development:
- Design and Development Process
We create and include a unique design plan for your product. The design plan reflects the standard and procedures of our established design controls.
- Design Input
We develop and include procedures that outline the intended function or use of the medical device. The user’s needs are highlighted to provide a critical function and design goal for the finished product.
- Design Output
We define and document procedures for determining design output compliance with the design input requirements. The design output procedure contains acceptance criteria that prove the proper functioning and effectiveness of the product.
- Design Process
We develop and include a procedure for reviewing the design process to confirm thoroughly conducting the reviews.
- Design Verification
We develop and include our verification and testing process throughout the product’s development.
- Design Validation
We develop and include a procedure that defines the testing conditions and criteria used to validate the product design. The results of the validation process are also included to support DHF further.
- Design Production Transfer
We develop and include documentation on the product specifications as they comply with design controls and FDA standards. The documentation consists of procedures necessary to transfer the product to production.
- Design Changes
We document and include design changes as they occur throughout the development of the product. These changes reflect our adherence to the established design controls and support the conventional effect of your medical device.
HDA optimizes the development process by establishing crucial standards and procedures to reproduce your device’s specifications and critical functions. Our strict adherence to design controls results in high-quality products and swift regulatory certification.
At HDA, device design controls are essential for verification and validation processes. Both processes are distinctly different and crucial to ensuring that a product is safe, effective, and regulatory sufficient.

HDA Verification Guarantees Consistent, Effective Products
Our verification process is structured to ensure that the design of your medical device meets its established requirements for safety and effectiveness. Verification is all about testing that our design outputs match our design inputs.
HDA actively verifies that design outputs meet the established design controls throughout the development process. Identifying discrepancies between the device design and management is crucial to correcting production issues before making it into the later stages of development.
Led by expert medical device design engineers, our verification process can test prototypes, systems, sub-systems, components, raw materials, and software for issues that don’t satisfy the design controls.
By utilizing the design controls as a guiding template, HDA practices design verification to test:
- Design Requirements
Remember, design output should be design input. HDA tests the design requirements themselves by the output that they create. In addition, we maintain comprehensive design and process documentation to determine them quickly.
- Design Process
Verification isn’t exclusive to any single level of development. Instead, we utilize verification processes to test and highlight issues within the design process itself.
- Device Design
HDA tests to make sure that design outputs match the specifications of our design requirements. This determines if the product is on track and matches its predetermined specifications and functions.
HDA manages development and manufacturing with verification and validation processes to produce high-quality products. Both employ testing methods and standards but are performed at different stages in development.
Unlike our active verification process throughout development, validation is performed at the end. HDA leverages this dual system of testing to confirm the validity of the product and production process and guarantee the medical device is safe and effective for the user.
HDA Delivers Quality and Performance
We Simplify the Design Validation Process
All medical device products must go through validation before reaching the manufacturing process. Validation is a crucial component of the FDA certification process. Device development must consistently produce safe, effective products through design controls to meet FDA standards.
At HDA, design validation is a design controls procedure that functions as another safeguard to mitigate costly production mistakes and unsuccessful products. In addition, stringent testing measures are in place to demonstrate that the medical device functions as intended and performs as users expected it to.
Design validation is planned from the early stages of development to ensure that the end-user is always the priority during development. Validation confirms the medical device’s usability, efficacy, and safety before it heads to full-scale production.
We can produce small-batch production devices that simulate the conditions and production environment of the finished product. This is an essential detail when testing the product. We believe in removing variables and surprises by testing all processes, materials, and equipment in the development stage.
Medical device design controls help validate a product in several ways:
- Process Validation
Documenting development from design to manufacturing guarantees that the product will meet the intended specifications consistently.
- Design Validation
HDA has demonstrated over and over again that its products fulfill their intended functions and use.
HDA’s development process utilizes medical device design controls to optimize safety and production. Transparency in product development ensures that our products are helpful, non-harmful, and quickly approved in the regulatory process.
