PLATO Design Control

PLATO Design ControlTransparent Development Processes for All Parties Involved

With PLATO Design Control you have all requirements - from the first idea to the end of marketing - in view.

PLATO Design ControlIntegration of risk management into development planning (design control)

The Design Control Process is designed to improve the safety and efficiency of medical device development.  PLATO Design Control focuses on the traceability of user needs from design input to design validation.

PLATO Design Control and System Analysis is database-driven and enables knowledge and template management as well as lessons learned process. The application is handled via the web browser - simple, convenient, available, networked. Results - from user requirements and risk-minimizing measures to product function and specification - can be displayed and output graphically in block diagrams, navigable network structures or tables at the touch of a button.

Thus, problems and interdependencies can be identified more quickly and resolved in a targeted manner. PLATO Design Control not only supports new developments, but also changes and further developments of medical devices.

The application of Design Control is required by the FDA for the product development of medical devices and more precisely defined in FDA 21 CFR 820.30. In Europe, this term is almost identically dealt with in DIN EN ISO 13485 in Section 7.3 Design and Development.

With PLATO Design Control, you can achieve this through a traceable and consistent networking of methods, data and documents from risk management to technical product development.

The Design Control process describes the process of product development and provides the specifications for technical product development. The system analysis describes the product to be developed theoretically through the steps of requirements definition, functional analysis, logical architecture design and component specification and specifies the resulting product models.

Why PLATO Design Control? Your benefits.
  • Integration of risk management into the development process promotes acceptance within the development team.
  • Fast additions / changes through central management of data and analyses.
  • Security through central action monitoring.
  • Effective knowledge management by graphical evaluations and database analyses.
  • Shorter approval times thanks to uniform and up-to-date product files at the touch of a button.
