We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Medical Device",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software connector keeps PDF backups from
MasterControl, which we summarised at the time by saying "PDF copies in the MasterControl document control system are synchronised with the native files in the Windchill solution".
The day before,
we featured the news release Software keeps secure PDF records from
MasterControl: "Revised drawings trigger revisions in MasterControl which pushes the metadata and drawing file from the PDMWorks solution to updated MasterControl InfoCards".
In February 2008, we covered the news from MasterControl
concerning its MasterControl PDM connectors
- take a look at PDF system keeps data consistent
which says: "The PDM connectors available from MasterControl interface with the most popular PDM solutions in the industry, including PDMWorks from SolidWorks and PTC's Pro/IntraLink and Windchill".
Take a look also at the news release from Sagentia, Up to the mark for medical device design,
as well as Software keeps bill of materials in focus from MasterControl,
and Novel powders expand rapid manufacturing options from EOS Electro Optical Systems (UK).
