DELIVERING PRECISION FROM CONCEPT TO CARE.
The MedTech field is rapidly evolving, with innovations in surgical robotics, smart devices and precision tools transforming how care is delivered. Tecan’s core capabilities – including robotics, optics, complex electronics, fluidics, regulatory expertise, systems integration and scalable high integrity manufacturing – are making a difference. They enable MedTech partners to bring scalable solutions to market, addressing critical challenges in healthcare delivery. From improving surgical precision to ensuring regulatory compliance, Tecan empowers its partners to innovate while reducing complexity. One outstanding example is the Avive Connect AED, an automated external defibrillator designed to improve survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest. Developed by Avive Solutions, this compact, connected device streamlines emergency response by providing critical data and functionality.
“Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States, with an estimated 356,000 out-of-hospital events occurring each year,” said Dr. Ryan McClure, co-founder of Avive Solutions. “Having access to an AED within minutes is often the difference between life and death, and we are thrilled to partner with Tecan to ensure these devices are not only reliable but also accessible to those who need them most.”
More than 4 million AEDs are currently in use in the United States—ready to make the difference between life or death in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. Tecan’s team played a key role in manufacturing readiness and ensuring FDA Class III compliance, helping bring this life-saving solution to market. The AED’s smart features, such as cellular and GPS connectivity, ensure actionable information reaches first responders and hospitals quickly helping to improve patient outcomes.
Tecan provides module and complete system manufacturing services, benefiting from the vertical integration of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). Its proprietary vPoke digital manufacturing execution system optimizes test and production yields, achieving industry-leading delivery performance and quality metrics. These capabilities make Tecan an excellent fit for the stringent demands of applications such as surgical robotics. Tecan supports partners in both soft-tissue and orthopedic robotics, including control units, simulators and generators, ensuring precision and reliability in these critical growth areas for MedTech. Through its capabilities in precision engineering, high integrity manufacturing and regulatory expertise, Tecan addresses critical challenges in healthcare. Its partners’ tools alleviate the deficit of surgical expertise, enable more outpatient interventions, and reduce hospital costs for care and rehabilitation. Whether enhancing robotic-assisted surgery and cardiovascular devices, or advancing renal care and blood management, Tecan remains a trusted partner in shaping the future of medical care.
