In part one of our series on new product introduction, Michael Keer, Founder and Managing Partner of Product Realization Group details some of the top areas that this blog series will be exploring and the the common pitfalls companies face in getting their product to market.

There is a world of difference between making one unit versus 100,000 units of a product, especially if what you are developing and manufacturing is a medical device. Moving into manufacturing is not just about design readiness, it serves as the defining point in an organization’s maturity.

When it comes to product development, implementing a robust process is critical to product success. There are different schools of thought – e.g., Waterfall, V-model, Agile - so how do you know which one will be the best for your medical device?

Designing medical devices requires more rigor than other devices. For example, you need to submit documentation to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or Conformitè Europëenne (CE) showing you followed a certain process. Much of this is good practice for any product and can improve your ability to complete designs on schedule, on budget, and with high quality.

In this week's blog, we're going to look at the key items that investors look for in a successful MedTech idea pitch. As you may remember in our past two blogs, we highlighted how to ensure your idea can make it to market, and how you can use this guidance when you look for funding to make your product.
