Software good for your health

Siemens PLM Software and Tata Consultancy Services have announced "TeamCenter for Medical Devices", for the medical device industry

. Amy Cooper, quality documentation supervisor at Wright Medical in Arlington Tennessee, which specialises in the design, manufacture and marketing of reconstructive joint devices and biologics enthused, "Guarding the health and safety of consumers is job one for Wright Medical and therefore complying with regulations set forth by regulatory agencies must be part of a comprehensive product lifecycle management strategy. Siemens PLM Software's Teamcenter solution helps Wright Medical insure that information regarding our products will be available for the life of the product which can be 40, 80 or even 100 years. Wright Medical has dramatically enhanced the availability of compliance data and reduced the time it takes to access that data," she added Cooper. "Teamcenter allows device history of the part to be available at the click of a button rather than having to search through physical files. Something that previously took weeks to find can now be accessed within minutes. Suppliers have direct access to data, enhancing efficiency and reducing time-to-market."
