Case Study: Terumo Cardiovascular Systems achieves faster, compliant product lifecycles and improved product quality with Dassault Systemes

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems - Customer Case Study

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems, a global supplier of cardiac surgery devices, needed a robust product lifecycle management (PLM) system after acquiring 3M’s cardiovascular business to replace Sherpa and meet strict FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. To manage large volumes of technical information, BOMs, approvals and supplier-driven component changes, Terumo selected Dassault Systemes and deployed the eMatrix PLM platform to centralize document control and change management.

Dassault Systemes implemented eMatrix to manage the device master record, automate change wizards and approvals, and provide full electronic audit trails; this simplified procedures, cut time to locate and distribute designs from hours to minutes, eliminated version-control errors, reduced turnover and improved product quality and production schedules. By enabling precise process definition and faster, auditable change implementation, Dassault Systemes delivered measurable productivity, compliance and quality gains for Terumo Cardiovascular Systems.
