Markets enabled through CE certification
Background
A leading Japanese manufacturer of lab automation and information systems, analyzers for clinical chemistry diagnostics, and diagnostic reagents wanted to enhance the technology and performance of their legacy blood coagulation analyzer.
Tata Elxsi was roped in to provide product design, value engineering, and regulatory compliance expertise, as well as to help them expand the IVD product's market reach to ASEAN and EU countries.
Challenge
With over two decades of product design and engineering expertise, we were able to take on a series of challenges such as ensuring cost reduction while retaining the existing technology of the analyzer and redesigning the enclosure for size reduction and material change from metal to plastic.
Our regulatory experts ensured a compliance-oriented design and DHF for Japan, Korea, China, ASEAN, and EU countries.
Impact
We successfully delivered an upgraded Blood Coagulation Analyzer with a 25% reduction in BOM cost, a 35% reduction in weight, and a 40% reduction in the product's size.
Our team performed compliance check and created technical files for CE certification, thus allowing the client to commercialize the product in ASEAN and EU countries.
Furthermore, through our strategic inputs and timely deliveries, we ensured business continuity for the client during unprecedented pandemic times. Ready to unlock your product's full potential and achieve cost-effective excellence? Contact us
