Case Study

Leveraging Supplier Relationships to Prevent Revalidation

9 Validation and Testing_Roche Beacon Adapter

Client

A premier pathology lab workflow platform.

Challenge

The client required an adapter that went end-of-life. The obsolescence of this single component threatened to stop production, which would require high-value resources and time invested to research, source, test, and validate a new component

Solution

Dynamic worked with major OEMs and 800+ technology partners, and collaborated with tier-2, tier-3, and tier-4 suppliers to develop a creative solution to extend the lifecycle of the current adapter. Simultaneously, Dynamic searched for an alternative manufacturing source that could produce the adapter, without any changes to the client’s specs or part number.

Benefit

The customer avoided the need to retest and revalidate the adapter, allowing the sales and installation of the medical device without interruption. The seamless product transition meant no changes were required to the client’s internal documentation — saving additional time and resources.
