Medical cable manufacturing is an
ever changing industry and every now and then. This year is no exception. Here
are some of the quality issues being faced by medical cable manufacturers:
Traceability:
Ensuring product safety is one of
the most important and most critical issue that medical industry faces. Then
there are disposal and reclamation procedures. While these regulations are made
for the safety of customers and environment, each and every procedure is an
additional burden to the company. Manufacturers ensure that they
Keeping products Relevant and Up to Date:
Product innovation is moving at dizzying pace and medical cable manufacturers have
to struggle
with this to keep up. As more and more company are vying to be the first market
with new concepts, there are high chances that the temptation to skip and
compromise on the quality material can come into place. It is highly needed for
the manufacturing companies to have enough time to ensure quality material like
wires and cables are in lined with the operating conditions.

finds place no more than out of the gates!
Healthcare costs
The rising cost of healthcare for
most of the workers is putting strain on fragile manufacturing cost plans.
Manufacturers in various countries are facing the burden of providing their
healthcare equipment at prices that is lower than their competitors and
unfortunately there is no strong alternative to this as well. This can create a
situation when the increase in product cost will no more remain competitive.
Environmental concerns
Many local as well as
international manufacturing companies are affected by various aspects of
manufacturing process ranging from the ability to use quality material to
workers exposure, proper disposal of waste and getting the right byproducts.
Ensuring the safety and health of workers along with proper quality standards
of the medical cable is crucially important.
For environmental concerns, it is
also vital to recycle the reusable products, dispose-off the waste products on
right place and contribute to a healthy environment and worker’s health alike.
Balancing maintenance with throughput
Keeping the equipment
functionality is essential part of manufacturing process and it requires
regular preventive maintenance including replacement of old machines, wires,
cables and increasing throughput. Customer satisfaction in delivery lead times
is also mandatory.
Sometimes or other, the
manufacturers are tempted to delay preventive maintenance and replace the
factory components with low quality items. This can create unsafe conditions
and resultant products in manufacturing environment. Poor quality cables can
result in shocks or electrocutions or disapproval from the customer end.
To address these issues, the
medical manufacturing companies need to keep themselves updated with the latest
technologies and industry standard compliances to survive the stiff competition
in the market. Unlike other industries, medical equipments need to be precisely
accurate and that’s why these issues need to be addresses as soon as possible.
