|
| Some of our sample assignments include: |
 |
Migration of a pacemaker programming application for a world leader in cardiac rhythm management. The project involved moving the existing pacemaker programmer application from VX Works RTOS to Linux environment with a new look and feel GUI and enhanced features. |
|
Independent system verification and validation of a pacemaker and ICD programmer application for a leading class III medical device company requiring FDA compliance. |
|
Application migration of a CT scan and MRI system for a world-leading manufacturer of medical imaging systems. The additional challenge involved working with the client to move all the modality application to a common framework. |
|
Complete end-to-end product development of a simulator for testing an impedance cardiography monitor. The scope involved all stages of development from detailed system design, prototype development, enclosure design to final evaluation and testing of the simulator on the ICG Monitor. The complete documentation for manufacturing and testing was provided to the client. |
|
Re-engineering of a blood aphaeresis system for a lab automation company. The project involved reengineering the smart card interface board executed with a FPGA executing custom firmware to address component obsolescence keeping intact the fit and function.
