The medical device industry is as challenging as they come. First and foremost, the device needs to perform, which is often complicated with new technologies engineered to solve new challenges. FDA compliance issues abound, from initial documentation and design drawings to prototype testing and final approval. Every part, every component, needs to be identified and tracked. And, of course, the device needs to be manufacturable, serviceable, and profitable.

Medical device industry relies on durable components for a high-quality piece of equipment. These devices need to work and be reliable for years at a time, even as they are used on a daily or even hourly basis. This means components need to have that same level of durability.
