Case Study: Olympus Surgical achieves FDA-compliant, on-time product launch with Wind River

Olympus Surgical cuts development cycle time and costs by 15% with Wind River

Olympus Surgical, a technology leader in minimally invasive surgery, faced the challenge of developing a next-generation high-frequency surgical generator while needing to win regulatory approvals quickly for a competitive market. They outsourced the software development and validation to Wind River to focus on their core competencies.

Wind River implemented a solution that included developing a safety-critical RTOS, a board support package for VxWorks, and providing tailored education services. As a result, Olympus brought the first FDA-approved product of its kind to market ahead of schedule and within budget. Wind River also helped the company achieve regulatory compliance and laid the foundation for ongoing collaboration.
