4 Essential Phases for Successful Medical Device Manufacturing Transfers

Manufacturing transfers – whether to scale operations, lower costs, or optimize location – can introduce serious risks to timelines, budgets, and compliance. Yet these risks can be mitigated by following a transfer process that is proven to lead to successful results.

In this white paper, we outline the distinct elements of Integer’s rigorous 4-Phased Manufacturing Transfer Procedure (4MTP) designed specifically for medical device OEMs. It’s a process built on years of experience in device manufacturing and assembly transfers.

As a result, our transfer procedure ensures clear structure, accountability and, most importantly, maintains the consistent product quality OEMs demand.

What Is a Medical Device Manufacturing Transfer?

A medical device manufacturing transfer refers to relocating the manufacturing or assembly of a product from one site (sending site) to another (receiving site). Transfers require careful validation, regulatory updates, and consistent quality assurance. Integer’s methodical process addresses the technical, regulatory, and logistical aspects for manufacturing transfers to ensure seamless transitions without compromising product integrity.

What Makes Medical Device Transfers So Challenging?

Unlike design transfers, manufacturing transfers deal with already-commercialized products. As a result, safety, efficacy, and compliance must be revalidated at the new site, often under time and resource constraints. Integer’s structured methodology delivers repeatable success and meets the high stakes of global medical device manufacturing.
