Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosed computer systems provide rapid design of multiple component products, especially medical products, as well as determination of manufacturing costs, pricing, physical attributes, component bonding techniques, sterilization techniques, and government regulatory approval. Certain embodiments also generate work orders, product labels, and audits for multiple component devices.

Claims

1. A system for tracking data related to medical device component inventory comprising:

an input file configured to store information related to configurations of new orders for a multi-component medical device;

an enterprise resource planning database configured to store data relating to numbers of medical device components available;

a qualification database configured to store data relating to qualified component combinations;

a configuration database configured to store data relating to numbers of components needed for medical device configurations; and

a graphical user interface configured to display a schematic depiction of the multi-component medical device and information from the enterprise resource planning database.
