Case Study: Terumo achieves faster, clearer medical device assembly process design with CAD Schroer MEDUSA4

Terumo Cardiovascular MEDUSA4 at the Pulse of Product Assembly

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation, a U.S.-based specialist in medical devices for cardiac surgery, required a more efficient process for designing and controlling manufacturing specifications for its custom medical device assembly packs. They partnered with vendor CAD Schroer to implement the MEDUSA4 DRAFTING package and the MEDINFO document management system to address these challenges and improve workflow integration.

CAD Schroer provided a highly customizable solution, including MEDUSA4 for creating detailed assembly drawings with a custom symbol library and the MEDInfo system for document management and revision control. The vendor developed specific customizations, such as an Obsolete Parts Management Tool and ERP integration, which automated processes and reduced manual intervention. This resulted in a dramatically improved design process, a decreased turnaround time for implementing new designs, and significant efficiency gains for Terumo CVS.
