Medical device design transfer is a critical phase in the development process, marking the transitory phase from the design and development stage to manufacturing. This phase ensures that the medical device continues to meet its safety, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance once production begins. It is the final phase in the development process and sometimes overlooks or underestimates the amount of time and effort required to ensure that final manufactured devices meet requirements.
