Making Medical Devices Smarter with Custom Sensor Integration

Millar employees meet at Millar headquarters.

Turning Concepts into Clinical Solutions

Determining the Best OEM Integration Solution

During the discovery phase, we help determine the best pressure sensor integration solution for your medical device. Leveraging our extensive pressure sensing technology expertise, this initial phase identifies potential issues early in the development process, eliminates unnecessary costs and delays, and provides insight into project scope and future manufacturing requirements.

Validating Sensor Integration in Real-World Conditions

Once a project passes through discovery, it moves into the proof-of-concept phase, which involves product customization to test full sensor integration into one or more working designs. The Millar OEM team explores multiple design iterations before selecting and refining a final design, then develops initial documentation.

Developing Sensor-Enabled Prototypes

Millar supports early-stage prototyping in our ISO 13485-certified manufacturing facility and ISO Class 7 clean room. Our goal at this stage is to establish a stable design, complete key design control documentation, and define production volume requirements.

Streamlining Product Manufacturing

Millar’s manufacturing development phase defines the critical processes that impact a product’s overall cost and successful production. Our manufacturing engineers will begin process validation work and review the designs and components to determine the product’s ease of fabrication, possibly suggesting modifications to maximize production yields.

Taking Prototype Builds to the Next Stage

As your device progresses beyond prototyping, Millar prepares it for real-world readiness. Our engineering and production teams collaborate to develop pilot builds, conduct design verification, and ensure readiness for regulatory testing and clinical trials. With full-scale manufacturing capabilities, including our ISO 13485-certified facility with an ISO Class 7 clean room, we’re equipped to produce sensor-integrated components that meet the highest standards for medical devices.

Ready for Real-World Validation

Once your device is validated for performance and safety, it advances to clinical trials. Millar supports this critical phase with production-quality builds, thorough documentation and regulatory expertise — ensuring your device meets the stringent requirements for human use and is ready for real-world impact.
