Stage 3

Design Transfer

From validated design to FDA-ready Design History File, Device Master Record, and a manufacturing package that's been built in Ranfac's own production format.

Design Transfer is the bridge between "we have a working prototype" and "we can manufacture this at clinical or commercial scale." Ranfac produces the full regulatory documentation set, validates manufacturing processes against your design, and delivers a first article — all formatted to flow directly into Ranfac's manufacturing line if you choose to produce here.

Three tiers

DHF Scaffolding
$50,000
  • Design History File structure
  • Design inputs and outputs documentation
  • Risk file scaffold (ISO 14971)
  • Documents only — no V&V or first article

For companies with existing engineering capacity that need the regulatory shell.

Full transfer

Replaces $200K–$500K consulting engagements.

Complex Class IIb–III
$250,000+

  • Extended biocompatibility and sterilization validation
  • Higher-risk regulatory submissions support
  • Multi-site or partner-integration scope

Priced per scope. Class III devices, novel materials, complex submissions.

Manufacturing pull-through advantage

If you choose to manufacture at Ranfac (Stage 4), 50% of your Design Transfer fee credits against your first manufacturing PO — roughly $75K back on a standard $150K engagement. The DHF is produced in Ranfac's manufacturing format, so transfer into production takes weeks instead of months.

No coercion: if Ranfac isn't a manufacturing fit, you keep the DHF and we equip you to source elsewhere via RFQ services.
