NPD Sprint · A ProofX Pilot · Medical Device Design & Development

Design your device and build its Design History File — together, from day one.

A short pilot where our engineers design your device and build its regulatory paperwork at the same time — so nothing has to be reconstructed later.

Take the design, the documentation, or both.

NPD Sprint
design_services
Three concepts

We design your device three ways, so the best idea wins — not just the first.

precision_manufacturing
One prototype

The strongest concept built into a single ready-to-build prototype.

science
Evidence, not guesses

Proven on the bench and with FEA before you commit to launch.

folder_supervised
An audit-ready DHF

Complete the day the prototype is finished. Nothing to reconstruct.

01 · The problem we solve

Good devices don't stall because the engineering is weak.

01

You build for months — designing, changing, fixing, until the prototype finally works.

02

Then the FDA asks for proof: “show us the record of every design decision, risk and test.”

03

But nothing was written down — it lives in old emails and people's memories.

04

So the submission gets rejected, and your timeline slips while you rebuild a history you never recorded.

The NPD Sprint makes sure this never happens to you.

03 · Proof

Real projects, real numbers.

30–40%Fewer physical iterations

A surgical instrument, designed right the first time with the 3-Concept Method.

5%Cost out at design stage

Taken out before it was locked in — because decisions were made on evidence.

200+Engineers, 4 countries

Device teams across the US, India and Ireland on the same ISO 13485 framework.

Every figure above is a real, anonymised SolidPro project. Nothing here is aspirational.

✕ Not for

A device already selling in the market. For that, ask us about a Cost-Down Teardown instead.

04 · How to start — three easy steps

Proof first. Commitment later.

Step 1 · Try itNPD Lifecycle Checklist

Self-score your design-controls readiness in a few minutes, in your browser. You instantly see your gaps — and we can turn it into an honest snapshot of what a reviewer would flag today.

Step 2 · TalkBook a StartSmart call

60 minutes, no deck, no pitch. We tell you straight whether we can help and what the Sprint would cover for your device.

Step 3 · StartRun the NPD Sprint

A short, low-risk pilot on your real device. You finish with the design, the documentation, or both — plus a clear findings list and a recommended next step.

What the call covers

60 minutes. No deck. Free.

  • Where your design controls stand today — and what a reviewer would flag first.
  • Whether the Sprint fits your device, or whether something else would serve you better.
  • What the Sprint would actually cover: design, documentation, or both.
  • A clear findings list and a recommended next step.

Built for startups and first-device teams working to 21 CFR 820.30 and ISO 13485 §7.3.
