Expertise

From bench to bedside.

Medical imaging

We have a wide experience in preclinical and clinical medical imaging, including complete systems design and development, study planning and image analysis.  More precisely, we are experts in Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) and different optical imaging modalities. We provide consultancy and support for research Laboratories and Companies to plan their preclinical imaging experiments, analyze the results or making custom developments.

Electronics

We develop custom electronics for medical devices ranging from complex systems for radiation detection and measurement to consumable electronics for battery management, power control or display and visualization.  We can produce prototype samples and also provide contacts for mass manufacturing. Contact us for letting us know about your needs.

System Prototyping

We offer services of complete system prototyping using different technologies including in house fabrication, or external resources such as laser sintering or high-quality 3D printing. We assist you from defining system specifications to choosing the right technology for mass-manufacturing.  Contact us for letting us know about your needs

Software

We offer custom software development for medical image analysis and/or low level software to control and manage complete medical devices. We can go from prototype software in MATLAB or any other tool (i.e. IDL or Octave), to final commercial software highly optimized in terms of speed and size using any programing language and target platform. Contact us for letting us know about your needs 

Industrial Design

Going from prototype systems to mass-manufacturable devices require specific design steps which include creation of CAD models, choosing the right materials, create detailed drawings, assembly fixtures and assembly procedures which will allow to adapt your system to the specific production technology and processes. Contact us for letting us know about your needs we can provide advice and/or helping you in this step through our collaborators.

Regulatory

We help you to achieve regulatory approval for your medical devices. We have experience with different USA and EU standards including IEC60601 (medical devices), IEC 60825 (Laser safety) or IEC 62133 (Battery regulations) among others. We have in house resources to help you in pre-test for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety.  We can also assist you with creating the documentation required for regulatory approval including technical files, user and service manuals, verification and validation documents etc.  Contact us for letting us know about your needs.
