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 method of determining set qualification using a computer system, the method comprising:

providing a qualification database;

providing a computer processor in communication with the qualification database;

providing a set comprising components and connections between components;

determining if set components are in the qualification database;

determining if set connections are in the qualification database;

analyzing the set for qualification by testing at least one component for qualification if any set components are not in the qualification database and;

analyzing the set for qualification by testing at least one connection for qualification if any connection between set components is not in the qualification database;

adding any components or connections to the database if the analysis of those components or connections shows them to be qualified.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing the set for qualification comprises analyzing the set for FDA qualification.
