Features of DDM
Powerful PLM for Medical and Life Sciences
Managing regulatory requirements while keeping product development on track is one of the biggest hurdles in medical and life sciences. DDM centralises your design data, documents and approvals so teams always work from the most up-to-date information helping with ISO 13485 and ISO 9001.
Additionally, DDM’s process and audit capabilities help medical device companies with FDA regulations 21 CFR Part 11 (Electronic records/electronic signatures) and 21 CFR Part 820 (Quality System Regulation).
Every change, risk assessment and CAPA action is tracked and linked to relevant products, giving full traceability without slowing down workflows. Built-in processes ensure approvals, electronic signatures and audit trails are captured automatically, so compliance is maintained naturally as part of daily work.
Regulatory Compliance Management
Keep every approval, record and update in one organised system with DDM. It helps support compliance with ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 so you can be confident that every document is ready for inspection at any time.
Document Control & Traceability
From design history files to device master records, DDM maintains complete version control and an unbroken audit trail. You will always know exactly who made a change, when it happened and why.
Risk & Quality Management
DDM makes it easy to log and track every nonconformance, complaint or audit finding in one place. Linked data shows the full impact while built-in workflows guide CAPA actions from start to finish. Risk assessments sit alongside product files so you can spot issues early and keep quality high.
Design & Change Management
With structured workflows for reviews and approvals, DDM ensures design changes are well managed and fully documented. Everyone involved works from the same, most up-to-date information.
Secure Collaboration & Supplier Management
DDM allows you to share accurate specifications with suppliers and partners while keeping sensitive data protected. This ensures efficient collaboration without compromising security.
DDM for Medical Device and Life Science PLM
From tracking changes to managing approvals and risks, DDM helps medical and life sciences teams stay organised, compliant and confident throughout the product lifecycle. Trusted by regulated industries worldwide.

Powerful tools built for product development-all in one platform
Achieve Compliance Without the Chaos
Capture every change, approval, and document in one traceable system. Whether you’re working to ISO, FDA, or internal standards, compliance is structured, auditable, and stress-free.
Boost Team Productivity
Keep everyone aligned with a single source of truth. Engineers spend less time managing data, and more time solving problems and innovating.
Cut Engineering Costs
Remove time wasted on chasing files, duplicating effort, or fixing miscommunications. DDM simplifies design workflows and eliminates manual overhead.
Reduce Waste & Increase Part Reuse
Easily find, track, and re-use existing components instead of reinventing them. Fewer duplicates, fewer errors — more value from every design.
Build a Smarter, More Scalable Process
Replace disconnected spreadsheets and legacy tools with a future-proof system that grows with you — from prototype to global release.
Get Products to Market Faster
With connected data, streamlined reviews, and fewer handoff delays, teams move from concept to production without hold-ups or rework.
