Hardware Product Design: 3 Innovation Lab Strategies for Upgrading Transferred Devices

Hardware product design doesn’t end when you inherit a device — that’s where it starts. More and more MedTech teams are taking over devices built overseas, by OEMs, or under old contracts. They want to scale. Improve margins. Get through CE or FDA. But what they actually get is a black box: At OVA Solutions, […]

Product Design Consultant: 5 Essential Steps to Set Up Independent Manufacturing Successfully

The truth most MedTech teams learn too late? You don’t scale by hiring a factory. You scale by building control — and that starts with the right product design consultant. At OVA Solutions, we’ve worked with MedTech companies who went from fast prototype to production disaster — all because they didn’t know how to design […]

Engineering Design and Development in a 12-Week Turnaround: Critical Lessons from Redesigning Chinese Hardware

Engineering design and development in MedTech isn’t linear — especially when you’re rebuilding fast. At OVA Solutions, we’ve seen dozens of teams come to us with a working prototype from China and one simple request: “Make it scalable.” But behind that ask is a mountain of problems: The only way forward? A complete redesign — […]

Mechanical Design Services: 4 Hard Lessons from Reverse Engineering Products Made in China

The harshest truths in mechanical design services? You often don’t find them in CAD — you find them buried inside a glued, press-fit, undocumented device shipped from China. At OVA Solutions, we’ve been called into MedTech projects where teams had no choice but to reverse-engineer a finished product: no source files, no access to firmware, […]

Engineering Product Development: 5 Challenges of Rebuilding Chinese Hardware Without Source Files

The hidden nightmare in engineering product development? Trying to scale or re-certify a device built in China — and realizing you have zero access to the source files. No editable CAD. No firmware loaders. No test protocols. Just a box that works… until it doesn’t. At OVA Solutions, we’ve rebuilt hardware for MedTech clients caught […]

Electronic Design Services: 6 Relocation Mistakes to Avoid When Moving Production Out of China

The unspoken trap in electronic design services? Relocating production out of China often breaks more than just your supply chain — it breaks your engineering. If you’re working with Chinese factories and planning to shift production to the EU, U.S., or LATAM, your product won’t simply “transfer.” Unless your electronic design services were built with […]

Medical Device Documentation: 4 Critical Failures When Working with Chinese Manufacturers

The overlooked crisis in medical device documentation? It doesn’t happen at the FDA audit. It doesn’t happen during CE submission. It happens silently — during early engineering handoffs and uncontrolled revisions with Chinese manufacturers. We’ve seen it too many times: a MedTech startup rushes to outsource to save time. A few months later, they realize […]

7 Critical Pitfalls in Medical Device Development When Transferring Out of China

The harsh truth about medical device development? Most teams think the transfer is about manufacturing. It’s not. It’s about rebuilding your development process under new constraints — and most companies have no idea how many traps they’re walking into. If you’re planning to shift your medical device development from China to another region, you’re not […]

IP Recovery After Working With Chinese Suppliers: Real-World Case and Step-by-Step Guide

When developing a medical or wellness device, working with Chinese suppliers often feels like a cost-effective shortcut. But many founders discover—too late—that they’ve lost control of their most valuable asset: intellectual property (IP). From unauthorized replicas to suppliers holding molds hostage, IP recovery after working with Chinese suppliers is a challenge we see often at […]

Outsourced RnD for Hardware Migration: 1 Reason When and Why It’s the Only Real Option

In the rapidly evolving world of medical and wellness technology, hardware migration is no longer optional—it’s inevitable. Devices age. Components become obsolete. Compliance standards tighten. And users expect more from every interaction. When your in-house team hits a wall—technically or resource-wise—outsourced RnD for hardware migration isn’t just an alternative. It’s often the only real option […]
