8. Design Transfer Phase
During this phase of Design Controls, you will actually start the production of your medical device.
You must ensure that the complete details of the design are transferred correctly to the production team so that the medical device is manufactured without any hindrances or obstacles.
Looking at the example of the new knee implant, you will ensure that during the design transfer phase, the product is manufactured according to specifications.
9. Design Changes Phase
If there are any revisions to the original design of a medical device, the Design Changes Phase comes into play.
Let’s say that you need to make some adjustments in the manufacture of your novel knee implant. This is possible through proper document control and change control during the Design Changes Phase.
It might be that you are struggling with the management of your existing document control and change control tasks. QMS software with built-in document control and change control capabilities can help you to automate reoccurring tasks such as data collection, routing, follow-ups, notifications, approvals, and much more. This basically means that all change control of documents and product changes can be managed with an integrated Quality Management System (QMS) software solution.
What is Design History File (DHF)?
All documentation about Design Controls should be compiled in a master file labeled as Design History File (DHF).
The Design History File (DHF) will not only show all steps taken during the development of your new medical device but also detail the links between the various phases of Design Controls. This is a mandatory requirement for regulatory agencies (such as FDA 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485:2016) worldwide.
The creation of the DHF is typically the last step or phase in the Design Control process.
When you have efficient and reliable eQMS software such as SimplerQMS, you will find it much simpler to compile your DHF and to have it ready for audits and inspections.
Let us look at one such utility of the SimplerQMS design control software module, namely, the Document Collection feature. With such a solution, you can easily make a ‘snapshot’ of all current documentation for every product in your company. Subsequently, you will be able to export the required documentation or share it with relevant external agencies. This means that you will not have to waste any time searching for the required documentation when compiling your DHF, DMR, or TF.
How Does QMS Software Improve the Medical Device Design Control Process?
If your company is still reliant on manual paper-based systems for managing your DHF for every product in production, you would have realized that this is very time and labor-intensive and often leads to the following errors:
- Missing documents and records
- Missing signatures for document reviews and approvals
- Disconnected processes and decreased traceability
- Other challenges…
You can easily eliminate these problems by implementing QMS software at the very beginning of your product development cycle.
Cloud-based Quality Management Software such as SimplerQMS is specifically designed to help organizations such as yours to accelerate market access by streamlining design control, and many other quality processes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Design Controls
Regulatory agencies across the globe want assurances that the medical devices your company produces are safe and efficacious. You must be able to prove that your medical devices meet end-user needs and requirements. This is the core of Design Controls.
Design Controls are intended to show that your company’s medical devices are safe, efficacious, and meet the requirements of the end-user.
The phases of Design Control are:
• User Needs Phase
• Design and Development Planning Phase
• Design Input Phase
• Design Output Phase
• Design Review Phase
• Design Verification Phase
• Design Validation Phase
• Design Transfer Phase
• Design Changes Phase
• Design History File
Final Thoughts
Design Controls ensure that the medical device that your company is launching is safe, efficacious, and intended for its given purpose. International regulations and standards including FDA 21 CFR 820.30 and ISO 13485:2016 govern the different phases of Design Controls.

Using actual Sheriff’s Calls published in the Point Reyes Light as inspiration Solomon has created a collection of stories that weave together the bright fabric of this pacific coast cast of characters and strange Marin County behavior. The book places these richly drawn characters in such a specific landscape that if you’ve been there the laughter bubbles up immediately in recognition, if you haven’t been lucky enough to see Point Reyes in person you’ll want to book a weekend just to walk around and take it all in. Solomon creates folks we think we know places them in sometimes excruciatingly funny situations. Meet this family of friends she has given life to and treat yourself by reading about their peculiar Point Reyes adventures. Solomon’s been an invited presenter at Quiet Lightning, Why There Are Words, Aqus Café in Petaluma, Writing Without Walls, Lip Service West in Berkeley, Pints ‘N Prose, and other venues.

- Getting Started With Deep Learning: Convolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional Neural Network convolutional neural networks. In this video we finally bring together all the things we've learned in the past lectures. Tensors, convolutional layers, pooling layers, and recombine them with other ingredients in order to build our first convolutional neural network. Let's start by stacking convolutional and pooling layers together, going from a shallow image to a tensor of smaller size and many more channels. After we do that we can use the pixels in the last pooling layer as the features for a fully connected final stack of layers. The feature extraction part involves convolutional, pooling, and long linear activation functions.
And it transforms an input image in a tensor with many channels that encapsulate pattern matching in their pixels. We can enroll these features onto a long vector like we did initially and connect this vector to the labels using a fully connected layer. We can also stack multiple fully connected layers if you want. Our final network is like a pancake of many layers. The convolutional part dealing with feature extraction and the fully connected part handling the classification. The deeper we go in the network, the richer and more unique are the patterns match. And so more robust the classification will be. In conclusion, in this video we've learned how to stack layers in order to produce a convolutional neural network also using a flattening and a fully connected layer at the end. So thank you for watching and see you in the next video.hey folks, jagger wrote this song because of the book the master and margarita from Michail Bulgakow,an excellent wonderful book. read it.
I have for a long time wondered if this was an answer to Don McLean's song American Pie which references Mick Jagger as the devil. A timeline might help or further my interest.
devil has a hand in all major world events from the begining of time till now. he is the ruler of the world. His power is limited only by God. Jagger is idolizing his God the devil. Deep dark lyrics.
Just a song about the devil. A great band working what's popular. In the time when the song came out the popular issues of the day were Jesus Freaks and satan worshipers.
His game is to weed out the selfish. We are Eve he is Adam. God separated the light from the darkness, And saw that it was good.
When this song appeared I enjoy it a lot, I did'n know english at that time, now understanding the lyrics, this song kind of make me scared because this song is like straight devil's taking.
Rick Winters what is wrong with you? You totally butchered these great lyrics. They used to be fine. You should read more literature so that you know what to listen for in a well-written song.From the Gulliver's 47 range comes an unpeated English single malt produced at the Cotswolds Distillery, which has been matured in a STR ex-red wine cask. This style of cask (pioneered by the late, great Jim Swan) has been gaining popularity among whisky producers across the lands, and it's not hard to see why from bottlings like this. Lots of caramelised fruit and oaky spices to tuck into, making this an excellent postprandial whisky.Our Fundraisers of the week are sisters Helen and Liz who have been involved with our charity for over 27 years. Helen has M.E. and the two have held auctions from their home, stalls and online.
When speaking about her condition and reasons for fundraising for our charity Helen tells us that “in 1991, everything I had planned to do came to a crashing halt as I became bedridden with M.E. With much support from my husband, family and friends, as I slowly improved I wanted to make sense of having such a debilitating condition and turn a negative into a positive.
The sisters are currently auctioning two top priced tickets for any performance at the Fortune Theatre to see the Woman In
