The Challenge
Monitored Therapeutics, Inc. (MTI), a remote patient monitoring company specializing in respiratory diseases, faced significant challenges in navigating the global regulatory landscape. The complexity of maintaining compliance while distributing products globally was a daunting task. The company was also preparing for several audits, including FDA, ISO 13485, MDSAP, and customer audits. The challenge was to find a Quality Management System (QMS) that was not just a tool, but a comprehensive solution that could guide and support them through these audits. Additionally, as MTI began to scale, cost became a significant factor. The company needed a QMS that was affordable and suitable for all their key teams: Executive, Quality, and Product Development.
About The Customer
Monitored Therapeutics, Inc. (MTI) is an Ohio-based MedTech company that sells proprietary diagnostic products globally. Founded in 2011, the company has between 25-50 employees and is headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, USA. MTI has developed a powerful cloud-based system that enables their devices to share accurate patient data with clinicians in real-time. Their flagship product, GoSpiro, is a Bluetooth spirometer that allows patients to get lab-quality diagnostics from home at a significantly lower cost. MTI's mission is to extend access to care to patients through a standardized technology platform, while decreasing the cost of healthcare by allowing patients access to healthcare from the comfort of their homes.
The Solution
MTI chose to partner with Greenlight Guru, a provider of an affordable, robust QMS solution tailored for MedTech companies. The decision was influenced by Greenlight Guru’s proven track record of assisting over 1000 MedTech companies at various stages of scaling. Greenlight Guru’s eQMS and Strategic Guru Services were instrumental in helping MTI navigate multiple audits. The solution also provided valuable resources such as SOP Templates and Greenlight Guru Academy courses, which served as training and education for new hires. As MTI continues to grow and develop new diagnostic and treatment solutions, they plan to use Greenlight Guru’s Design Control and Risk Management to document their work and achieve their product goals.

Process Control System Support
In many automated production facilities, changes are made to SIMATIC PCS 7 projects on a daily basis, with individual processes often optimised by multiple workers due to shift changes. Documentation is key here, as this keeps workers informed about why a change was made. Furthermore, SIMATIC PCS 7 installations are generally used in locations where documentation is required for audits and certification. The ability to track changes between two software projects is not only an invaluable aid during shift changes, but also when searching for errors or optimising a PCS 7 installation. Every change made to the system is labour-intensive and time-consuming. Moreover, there is also the risk that errors may occur. If a change is saved in the project, then the old version is lost unless a backup copy was created in advance. If no backup was created, it will no longer be possible to return to the previous state if and when programming errors occur. Each backup denotes a version used by the SIMATIC PCS 7 system to operate an installation. To correctly interpret a version, information is required on WHO changed WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY: - Who created the version/who is responsible for the version? - Who released the version? - What was changed in the version i.e. in which block or module of the SIMATIC PCS 7 installation were the changes made? - When was the version created? Is this the latest version or is there a more recent version? - Why were the changes made to the version? If they are part of a regular maintenance cycle, then is the aim to fix an error or to improve production processes? - Is this particular version also the version currently being used in production? The fact that SIMATIC PCS 7 projects use extremely large quantities of data complicates the situation even further, and it can take a long time to load and save information as a result. Without a sustainable strategy for operating a SIMATIC PCS 7 installation, searching for the right software version can become extremely time-consuming and the installation may run inefficiently as a result.

ELI LILLY ADOPTS MICROMEDIA’S ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Pharmaceutical production is subject to a strict set of enforced rules that must be adhered to and compliance to these standards is critically necessary. Due to the efforts of WIN 911’s strategic partner Micromedia, Lilly was able to adopt an alarm notification infrastructure that integrated smoothly with their existing workflows and emergency hardware and protocols. These raw energy sources enable the industrial process to function: electricity, WIN-911 Software | 4020 South Industrial Drive, Suite 120 | Austin, TX 78744 USA industrial steam, iced water, air mixtures of varying quality. Refrigeration towers, boilers and wastewater are monitored by ALERT. Eli Lilly identified 15000 potential variables, but limitations compelled them to chisel the variable list down to 300. This allowed all major alarms to be covered including pressure, discharge, quantity of waste water discharged,temperature, carbon dioxide content, oxygen & sulphur content, and the water’s pH.
