Everything R&D and Quality need.
One platform.

Three deeply integrated modules that eliminate the data silos killing your compliance efficiency.

⚙️

Regulated ALM

Bridge the gap between software development and Design Controls. End-to-end traceability from requirement to test, audit-ready by default.

  • Requirements & Design Controls
  • Risk Management (ISO 14971)
  • Test Management & Traceability
  • Defect Tracking with DHF linkage
  • GitHub / Jira / Azure DevOps integrations
🛡️

Next-Gen eQMS

ISO 13485 and EU MDR compliance without the legacy overhead. Go live in 14 days with best-practice templates and adaptive workflows.

  • Document Control (21 CFR Part 11)
  • CAPA & Complaint Management
  • Audit & Supplier Management
  • Training Management with auto-assignments
  • Engineering Change Orders

Ask Paul — AI Assistant

The first MedTech AI assistant built for compliance, not just chat. Write requirements, spot risk gaps, and prepare audit summaries in minutes.

  • AI-assisted requirement writing
  • Automated risk gap detection
  • Audit summary generation
  • Regulatory change monitoring
  • Natural language traceability queries

Without Orcanos

The Siloed Reality

  • R&D lives in Jira or Excel. QA lives in a separate eQMS. Neither talks to the other.
  • Every design change triggers a manual documentation cascade across 4 tools.
  • DHF and risk files are PDFs — versioned, emailed, and outdated by Monday.
  • Audit prep = back-room panic, binders, scrambling for evidence.
  • Post-market surveillance is a manual loop that eats weekends.
  • 3-6 months to go live on a new QMS platform.

With Orcanos

One System. Two Teams. Zero Gaps.

  • ALM and eQMS share a single data model — R&D and Quality always in sync.
  • Design changes auto-propagate through traceability, risk, and validation.
  • Dynamic databases replace PDF graveyards — live risk and DHF, always current.
  • Audit-ready on any day, any time. No back room. No binders.
  • Complaints and CAPAs connected in one closed loop. Weekends restored.
  • Go live in 14 days, not 6 months.

In a week and a half I had four days of auditing… everything was handled directly inside Orcanos. No scrambling.

Ask Paul — AI Assistant ● Live
Which requirements are not yet linked to a risk?
I found 3 unlinked requirements in your current DHF:

• REQ-044: User Interface Feedback
• REQ-071: Battery Warning System
• REQ-083: Alarm Escalation

Want me to generate a risk draft for each based on ISO 14971 hazard categories?
Yes, draft risks for REQ-044
Done. I've created RISK-156 linked to REQ-044 with:
• Hazard: Inadequate user feedback during alarm
• Severity: S3 · Probability: P2 · RPN: 6
• Suggested mitigation: Haptic + audio dual-alert

Assign to a team member?

The challenge is real.
So is the solution.

Every MedTech team faces the same pain points. We've built Orcanos to solve each one — without the legacy overhead.

Continuous Audit Readiness
The challenge

Scrambling to meet FDA, MDR, and global requirements during surprise audits — because compliance is reactive, not built-in.

The Orcanos way

Compliance is core architecture, not a layer on top. Always audit-ready, automatically.

🚀
Accelerated Time-to-Market
The challenge

Bottlenecks in documentation and manual approval workflows that delay product launches and frustrate engineering teams.

The Orcanos way

Automated compliance processes free your teams to focus on innovation, not paperwork.

🔗
Deep Requirement Traceability
The challenge

Gaps in your traceability matrix that only surface during regulatory review — leading to costly rework and delays.

The Orcanos way

Every design change automatically assessed for risk impact and regulatory compliance — zero gaps.

R&D or Quality —
Orcanos speaks your language.

Ship faster without breaking compliance.

Your team moves fast. Your QMS shouldn't slow you down. Orcanos gives R&D full visibility into how every code commit, design change, and requirement affects your regulatory posture — in real time, without waiting on Quality.

  • Automated impact analysis on every design change — know the compliance risk before you merge.
  • 🔗
    Live traceability from user needs to verification — DHF always audit-ready.
  • 🤝
    R&D and QA finally working from the same data, not emailing PDFs.
  • 🤖

Yes — both are built in at the core. The platform includes pre-configured workflows, document control, CAPA, audit management, and training automation aligned with ISO 13485, plus technical documentation and post-market surveillance support for EU MDR 2017/745.
The eQMS covers quality processes — document control, CAPA, audits, nonconformances, supplier management, and training. The ALM covers the development lifecycle — requirements, design control, risk traceability, test management, and DHF compilation. Together they form one unified source of truth bridging R&D and Quality.
Yes. Orcanos scales from early-stage startups seeking their first CE mark or FDA clearance all the way to established manufacturers managing complex portfolios. Flexible pricing and rapid onboarding make it accessible at any company size.
Orcanos maintains a complete, real-time audit trail for every record, approval, and change. Document control includes 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic signatures. Your Design History File, risk management files, and quality records are instantly accessible — so your team is always inspection-ready, not just at audit time.
Ask Paul is Orcanos's AI-powered compliance assistant. Teams can ask questions about their DHF, risk records, and regulatory obligations in plain language. Ask Paul surfaces the right artifact, generates ISO 14971 risk drafts, and helps teams prepare for audits — all from within the platform.
Absolutely. Orcanos's no-code workflow builder lets quality managers create and modify workflows, forms, and field types without involving developers. Your QMS adapts to your process — not the other way around.
