Manufacturing transfer support for medtech companies: 20 tips on how to avoid hidden risks and delays

In today’s highly regulated and innovation-driven healthcare market, medtech companies often face the need to transfer manufacturing operations—whether due to geopolitical instability, cost pressure, lack of IP control, or the need for scaling. However, without proper manufacturing transfer support for medtech companies, the process can be plagued by hidden risks, missed deadlines, and even regulatory […]

Electronic Product Design and Development: 5 Costly Consequences of Losing Files to Your Chinese Manufacturer

The brutal truth about electronic product design and development? If you lose access to your design files, you’ve lost your product. In the MedTech world, where compliance and control are everything, relying on a Chinese factory to “hold onto” your CAD, firmware, or validation reports is a shortcut to disaster. At OVA Solutions, we’ve rebuilt […]

Medical Device Design: 5 Hidden Risks to Your Intellectual Property with Chinese Manufacturers

The uncomfortable truth about medical device design? Many startups unknowingly lose control of their intellectual property (IP) before their product ever hits the market — not through theft, but through standard Chinese manufacturing practices they didn’t fully understand. If you’re outsourcing your medical device design to Chinese partners, you might believe you’re saving time and […]

Medical Hardware Design: 5 Smart Moves for Switching OEM Suppliers Without Losing Control

Medical hardware design doesn’t fall apart during development — it falls apart during transfer. We’ve worked with MedTech teams who learned this the hard way. After months of progress with an overseas OEM, they realized: Result? Delays. Rework. Compliance resets. And worse — loss of trust from investors and regulators. If you’re planning to switch […]

How to Move Medical Device Manufacturing Out of China Without Breaking Your Supply Chain in 2025

The ugly truth about medical device manufacturing? Most hospital leaders think moving their medical device manufacturing out of China is just a cost issue.  It’s not. It’s a strategic survival move. If your medical device manufacturing partner is still 100% dependent on Chinese manufacturing, you’re sitting on a geopolitical time bomb. Tariffs, export controls, FDA scrutiny, IP theft—it’s not […]

Healthcare Manufacturing: 7 High-Stakes Lessons for MedTech Teams Relocating to the US or Europe

Healthcare manufacturing looks easy — until you try to move it. What most MedTech companies don’t realize is this: production isn’t just about physical parts. It’s a system of sourcing, tolerances, compliance, firmware alignment, and regulatory assumptions — most of which collapse when you shift geographies. We’ve supported multiple clients through the transfer from Asia […]

Medical Device Engineering: 3 Brutal Costs of Rebuilding Without Source Files

The painful reality of medical device engineering? If you lose access to your source files — CAD, Gerbers, firmware, or documentation — you haven’t just lost data. You’ve lost time, regulatory momentum, and control of your entire product lifecycle. It happens more than you think. A Chinese manufacturer disappears. An internal team member leaves. The […]

The Unseen Dangers of Hardware Product Design: 5 OEM Risks That Kill Scalability

The harsh truth about hardware product design in MedTech? It doesn’t matter how good your prototype is if you can’t trust your OEM partner to protect it. At OVA Solutions, we’ve seen founders lose control of their designs, timelines, and regulatory standing — not because their idea was bad, but because they underestimated how fragile […]

Engineering Product Design: 6 Foundations for Reliable BOM and Documentation That Scale

Engineering product design doesn’t fail at the prototype — it fails in the files. In MedTech, a product isn’t just what’s in the box. It’s what’s behind it: the BOM, the tolerances, the test reports, the revision log. We’ve seen promising devices stall not because the tech was wrong — but because the documentation couldn’t […]

Electronic Design Services: 4 Critical Risks When Embedded Software Goes Missing After Chinese Manufacturing

Electronic design services don’t stop at the PCB. They live — or die — in the firmware. And when embedded software goes missing after production in China, you don’t just lose a binary. You lose: In the MedTech world, that’s not a delay. That’s a disaster. If your team has ever received a shipment of […]
