Development
In the development of medical systems, Demcon follows a structured design approach for the three successive phases of proof of principle, prototype and pre-production. With this approach the potential design risks are identified and eliminated at an early stage. Demcon works with tight project management, is certified for the ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality systems, provides the necessary certification and ensures the traceability of all components.
In-house production
Demcon provides for production in-house and sets up the entire supply chain for this. The link with production supports the optimisation of the cost price and produceability in the design phase. At discretion of the client, the transfer from design to production by a third party can be supervised. In all cases Demcon successfully makes medical devices into serial products.
OEM activities
In addition to development and production, Demcon has a number of its own products in its portfolio. Subsidiaries Finapres , Demcon macawi respiratory systems and Hemics have their own products on the market worldwide and are experts in the field of blood pressure measurement, respiratory systems and imaging systems.
