Medical Sector

A medical component supplier sources, authenticates and delivers electronic parts that go into producing medical devices and diagnostic equipment. Examples of equipment include patient monitoring hardware, imaging systems and infusion pumps. Each and every part in a medical product has a high level of responsibility that standard procurement processes aren't built to take care of.

Regulatory frameworks governing medical device manufacture such as ISO 13485 and IEC 60601 compliance chains, require complete component traceability and documented authenticity. A counterfeit or out of specification part creates warranty issues and in a medical context, it creates a patient safety risk.

At Princeps we work directly with medical device manufacturers and industry OEMs facing these exact challenges. Our globally connected sourcing operation locates genuine, fully traceable EEE components which also includes obsolete and long lead time parts that are difficult to supply. AS6081 certified supply chain testing is at the core of our services which every client we partner with will benefit from. We provide medical clients with audit ready documentation for full adherence to global regulations.

For OEMs operating in a zero tolerance environment, we offer clear services that ensure components are exactly what they claim to be, sourced through a secure process.

Component suppliers within the medical industry are purchasing and inspection specialists that are able to provide authenticated electronic parts for the manufacture of safe medical devices, diagnostic tools and life critical equipment. Their role is a level above typical distribution methods because the standards required for a resistor inside a ventilator or a connector inside a surgical robot, for instance, are notably different from those applied to consumer electronics.

Authentic parts, with total traceability and documented testing are essential to medical procurement. Medical device manufacturers have constraints due to highly governed regulatory guidelines where every part must be accounted for, from original manufacture through to the finished product.

Princeps are a trusted sourcing and supply chain testing partner for medical manufacturers facing strict compliance. We partner with a vetted worldwide supplier network to locate genuine EEE components, including discontinued parts and validate each one through an AS6081 certified testing process.

There is great value for medical clients to partner with a specialist supplier as procurement risk drops, compliance documentation is available and production timelines are protected against market volatility that may disrupt availability.
