Industries · Medical devices

Medical device work instructions — controlled, trained and on record.

In medical device production, a deviation is never just a defect. REWO delivers the approved revision to every station, trains operators on exactly that version, and keeps the signed record your auditors expect.

Audit-ready for ISO 13485 · ISO 9001

The challenge

Why medical device lines are hard to keep compliant

Every change is controlled

A revised procedure needs review, approval and retraining before anyone works to it.

Training must be provable

Auditors ask which operators were trained on which revision, and when.

Controlled, automated cells

Complex steps in controlled environments are hard to explain on paper.

Lines move between sites

Transferring a validated process to another plant must not lose the method.

In practice

How medical device manufacturers use REWO

Guides

Controlled instructions at the station

Only the approved revision reaches the line; the previous one retires the moment the new one goes live.

Guides

Video for complex steps

Show the exact handling, orientation or sequence that text can't.

Forms

Retraining after every change

A revised instruction is re-assigned, and a short assessment confirms it was understood.

Courses

Role-based training paths

Certify operators for a process or an area, with a validity you set.

Analytics

Training records for audits

Show who was trained on which revision, when, and with what signature.

Security & Deployment

Inside your MES or QMS

Deliver instructions inside the system operators already use, or standalone by QR.

Audits

The record behind your audit

REWO doesn't certify your quality system — your QMS and your auditors do that. REWO gives you the record behind it: approved, versioned instructions, retraining tied to each change, and signed training records for every operator.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does REWO make us ISO 13485 compliant?
No software can. REWO gives you the evidence auditors ask for on controlled instructions and training: the approved revision, who was trained on it, and when they signed.
Can our QMS stay the master?
Yes. REWO can deliver documents your QMS controls, or be the controlled system for shop-floor instructions itself.
What happens when a procedure changes?
The new revision is approved, everyone who uses it is re-assigned, and the old version retires automatically.
Can REWO run inside our MES?
Yes. REWO connects through its REST API — Coloplast runs it inside its own MES.
