<\/a><\/span><\/div>During process development, our R&D specialists define potential process sequences and carry out corresponding process tests. Meanwhile, the existing or newly developed process is refined by adjusting its parameters until the customer requirements are met. There are often already established processes in our Medical Surface Center that can be matched to customer requirements either through process development or by making adjustments to individual process steps or parameters. During process development when designing a system, R&D employees support our systems engineering team to define the optimal process sequence and parameters.<\/p>\n
Since KKS develops, implements and operates its own systems for the Medical Surface Center, our customers benefit from a partner who not only is skilled at equipment construction, but can also bring the necessary expertise and experience of operating these kinds of systems to project implementation. An unbeatable combination.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Outsourcing services<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Design Transfer – Transfer of development into production and process validation<\/h2><\/div>Processes are validated in the Medical Surface Center by internal research & development experts in collaboration with process and validation specialists. Thanks to this close, interdisciplinary collaboration, we can carry out custom process validations efficiently and expertly. Surface or cleanliness analyses that have to be carried out during process validation are conducted in independent, accredited laboratories. KKS creates the complete validation documentation for the customer in the case of customer-specific validations. These documents include:<\/p>\n<\/div>
\n- Validation plan (VP)<\/li>\n
- Specification (FS)<\/li>\n
- Performance qualification (PQ)<\/li>\n
- Monitoring and change management<\/li>\n
- Risk analysis (FMEA)<\/li>\n
- Traceability matrix (TM)<\/li>\n
- Validation report (VR)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
In the Medical Surface Center, surface treatment processes are also available with standard validations that are carried out on a worst-case test piece defined by KKS. If these can be used for our customers, surface treatment of the product can be carried out without a customer-specific process validation and existing validation reports can be used to form an integral part of a medical product file \/ technical documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

For instance, KKS has further developed TioDark\u2122 dark anodizing as well as the automatic blasting and etching of dental implants, and industrialized their production processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
