Overview • On February 3, 1960, Prof. Orestes Fiandra performed the first effective pacemaker implant in the world. • CCC was founded in 1970 dedicated to the development and manufacture of pacemakers • We have 30 years of experience in the medical devices field and we are expanding activities to other engineering areas.
A brief history • 70’s: Design and manufacture of pacemakers for the domestic market • 80’s: Assembly of kits supplied by Exonix • 90-94: Development of APEX series • 95: Starting international business • 97: Starting engineering and OEM business • 02: Offices in Europe (i2m)
Today • Some years of experience in the global market • Two divisions: • Pacemakers • Engineering
Engineering Division • We aim at the development of specific projects through direct agreements with customers, or by participating in agreements with other solution supplier companies. • We have developed a substantial set of framework solutions and thoroughly tested modules; so, we can offer short lead times with uncompromising quality. • We can offer rapid development of prototypes and new products together with high quality standards and low cost • Our work is not limited to the medical devices field
Electronics • Design, prototyping and circuit manufacture according to applicable international medical quality standards. • Design and manufacture of monitoring devices. • Design and manufacture of micro-power implantable circuits. • Design of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).
Firmware • Development of embedded systems software, including real-time systems, signal processing, and communications. • Development of complex systems involving real-time parallel processing. • Development of microcontroller-based ultra-low power consumption solutions.
High-level Software • Development of high-level software, including Graphical User Interfaces and software for the command of embedded systems. • Development of special-purpose languages aimed at simplifying maintenance and operation tasks. • Development of communications software, used with devices designed by CCC or by third parties • Remote operation through the Internet. • Integration of Data Base services.
Leads and Encapsulation • Design and Manufacture of special purpose, chronically-implantable leads. • Medical-grade encapsulations including titanium and epoxy enclosures. • Mechanical solutions for medical devices • Medical-grade packaging, including blister packs and ETO sterilization.
Project Leadership & Consulting • Project management and leadership of mission-critical projects, integrating our capacity and engineering capabilities with the customer’s resources. • Wide experience in international multi-center projects. • Feasibility studies in areas such as micro-power electronics, real time software development. • Consulting services in Software Engineering and SQA.
