关于客户
CVRx is a privately held medical device company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company has developed proprietary active implantable technology for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. As a venture capital-funded company, CVRx must move its development projects quickly to clinical trials without sacrificing quality due to long regulatory approval cycles. The company is developing a second-generation system, XR-1, to provide Baroreflex Activation Therapy. The XR-1 System is a Class III medical device, indicating it could support or lengthen human life, prevent a serious health issue, or potentially pose a significant health risk if not properly evaluated. The system is subject to the most stringent FDA regulation and is subject to premarket approval.
挑战
CVRx, a medical device company, was developing a second-generation system, XR-1, for Baroreflex Activation Therapy. The company initially used IBM Rational DOORS as the requirements management engineering platform. However, after a year, CVRx needed a more flexible, configurable, and customizable platform that could also facilitate requirements reuse. As the project evolved, the company recognized a need for a broader toolset capable of more than just requirements management. To meet compliance regulations and ensure quality while maintaining an aggressive schedule, CVRx needed a comprehensive solution that could manage its requirements, specifications, test cases, change requests, defects, and other documents, processes, and records, as well as automate compliance reporting.
解决方案
CVRx selected PTC Integrity as its engineering documentation and development platform. PTC Integrity provided the flexibility, configurability, and customizability that CVRx needed. It also facilitated requirements reuse and provided a broader toolset than just requirements management. PTC Integrity could manage CVRx's requirements, specifications, test cases, change requests, defects, and other documents, processes, and records, and automate compliance reporting. The platform also provided traceability between disciplines, which is necessary for effectively managing risk. In 2008, CVRx replaced IBM Rational DOORS with PTC Integrity for requirements management. The scope of PTC Integrity was broadened to include source code management, with ties to tasks and workflow management between requirements and source code. Risk management, development issue management, and standards requirements capabilities were added to the platform.
运营影响
  • Full traceability across critical aspects such as requirements, risks, mitigations, and source code facilitates risk analysis, management, and reporting.
  • Risk Priority Number (RPN) tracking supports System Risk Analysis and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and ensures safety and quality.
  • Use of one platform to support multiple engineering roles reduces cost to implement, maintain, and manage.
  • Generation of a Design History File (DHF) can be accomplished without requiring additional personnel.
  • Rapid response capability to regulatory audits preserves time-to-market projections and positions CVRx for growth.
数量效益
  • Ability to reuse assets such as source code, requirements, specifications, and test suites (e.g., protocols) enable six-month project lifecycles.
