One Data Layer

The only platform that bridges QMS and ALM at the data layer.

Most companies buy separate tools for Quality and R&D, then spend months trying to make them talk. Orcanos is architected differently: QMS and Engineering Design Control (ALM) share one data model, so every design change is automatically assessed for quality impact and regulatory compliance. No integrations to break. No manual sync. No “different versions of the truth.”

Without Orcanos

The Siloed Reality

R&D lives in Jira or Excel. QA lives in a separate QMS. 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DHF and risk files are PDFs - versioned, emailed, and outdated by Monday.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 QMS 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 24 days, not 6 months.
In a week and a half I had four days of auditing… everything was handled directly inside Orcanos. No scrambling.

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

Why Orcanos

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.

Audit readiness illustration

Continuous Audit Readiness

The challenge

Scrambling to meet FDA, MDR, GMP, MDSAP, 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.

Time to market illustration

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.

Requirement traceability illustration

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.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before choosing Orcanos

Everything you need to know about our platform, compliance coverage, and getting started.

Can we customize workflows without coding?

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.

What is Ask Paul?

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.

How does Orcanos help during FDA or notified body audits?

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.

Is Orcanos suitable for early-stage startups?

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.

What's the difference between the QMS and ALM modules?

The QMS 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.

Does Orcanos support ISO 13485 and EU MDR?

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.

How long does implementation take?

Most Orcanos customers go live within 24 days. Unlike legacy providers that require 3-month onboarding cycles, Orcanos provides out-of-the-box QMS best practices and a no-code configuration environment - so you're audit-ready from the start.

What is Orcanos?

Orcanos is a cloud-based QMS and ALM platform built specifically for medical device companies. It unifies quality, R&D, and risk management in a single validated environment - supporting ISO 13485, EU MDR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and ISO 14971 compliance.
