The Problem

A leading medical diagnostics company sought to enhance existing blood analysis software. Their objectives were to improve functionality for lab technicians, introduce new features, and modernize the application's technology stack to align with current standards. This modernization would ultimately streamline workflows for technicians analyzing blood samples for organism identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing.

The Solution

TDK Technologies partnered with the client to deliver a custom software development and testing solution.  An important aspect of the approach included the use of simulators, which expedited the development process without requiring the use of physical instruments.  The TDK team also chose to use a clustered environment, with several servers running simultaneously, to more efficiently manage the software development process.  The team focused on three additional important areas:

  • Feature Enhancements and Modernization: The team implemented new functionalities and upgraded the application codebase to leverage modern technologies and best practices. This resulted in a more user-friendly interface and streamlined workflows for lab technicians, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.
  • Bug Fixes and Rigorous Testing: The development process involved identifying and resolving existing software bugs. The team implemented rigorous testing procedures to ensure accurate and reliable results from the blood analysis software.
  • Adhering to FDA Compliance: Throughout the development and testing phases, the TDK team strictly adhered to FDA regulations for medical device software. This ensured the solution met all regulatory requirements for safety and efficacy.

The Result

The modernized software yielded significant benefits for the client and lab technician end-users. The user-friendly interface and streamlined workflows significantly improved efficiency and productivity. The TDK team gained deep understanding of regulatory compliance and enhanced its ability to leverage modern technologies for optimal outcomes in the medical device software landscape.
