The medical sector is a universe of precision where quality is not an option but a vital necessity.
According to Cofepris, during the first half of 2023, 1,588 health registrations of new medical devices were authorized.
Technology plays a fundamental role in Medicine because it allows the constant development of new equipment for patient care.
Currently Mexico is classified as the seventh largest exporter of medical devices in the world. It is a growing industry that not only offers a better quality of life to people but is also a business that thousands of families depend on.
This trend towards the export of medical devices and technology in the country strengthens the commitment of manufacturers to comply with the most rigorous standards demanded by the international market. For this they must have innovative technology, procedures and quality control in metrology.
Demonstrating compliance with standards relating to quality assurance, quality management and data management must be transparent and traceable at all times; however, ensuring that manufacturing and quality processes are correct is extremely complex and time consuming.
“This makes it that much more important to have hardware and software solutions that can efficiently support these regulatory demands. We seek to help the medical industry effectively, knowing the local guidelines and the associated requirements that manufacturers of high medical technology must comply with in different countries”, comments Martín Quintero, specialist in Quality Solutions for the Medical Industry at ZEISS Mexico.
Patients, the most benefited from the quality of medical devices
The medical sector is a universe of precision, where quality is not an option, but a vital necessity. Every piece of equipment, from simple devices like syringes to complex implants, must meet standards that ensure its safety and effectiveness. This is where quality assurance backed by advanced technology comes into play.
Through this, the medical device manufacturers They can track their processes at every step of production, from raw materials to the final product, manage users securely, have integrated audit trails, detailed authentication concepts (including electronic signatures) and document version management.
All this translates into advantages for the final consumer (hospitals, health professionals, patients), that is, total impact for people’s health care by having innovative medical devices and technologies with certified quality and regulated under standards. international that do not compromise their procedures and their health.
Precision is the key to industry growth
Today the sector requires certainty about the precision of its production processes and the quality of its products. In the same way, manufacturers need to know in a timely manner if there are contaminated or defective parts in their production and to be able to withdraw them from production in a specific way, as well as to be able to accurately locate the source of an error.
In a world where every millimeter counts and every detail matters, technology emerges as the catalyst that drives medical excellence. Therefore, the importance of metrology in the health sector to have continuous improvements that have an impact on quality standards. The fusion of quality and technology promises a future where quality assurance is no longer an insurmountable challenge, but a tangible reality.
