VR Training for Medical Devices: MedTech operator training without touching validated equipment
Operators practise line clearance, assembly, inspection and equipment operation in VR before they reach the production floor.
- Line clearance, assembly, inspectionpractised in VR
- No validated equipment usedand no production stopped
- Records per operatorevidence before your sign-off
- Meta Quest linehand tracking, no controllers
The medical device training problem
- Every operator trained firstOperators must be trained to a documented standard before working on a production process.
- Live practice is expensiveRunning new hires through live processes uses materials, ties up validated equipment and introduces risk.
- Experts carry the training loadSupervising new hires pulls experienced operators away from their own work.
- Turnover and multiple sitesHigh turnover and several sites make one consistent standard hard to keep.
How Avatar Academy helps
- Practise without validated equipmentLine clearance, assembly, inspection and equipment operation, simulated so new operators build competence before the floor.
- The same standard on every shift and siteEvery operator gets the same simulation and assessment. When a procedure changes, the update reaches every headset.
- Training records, automaticallyCompletion, assessment scores and time on task are recorded for every operator, as evidence before your own sign-off.
- Experts freed upExpert technique is captured once and delivered to every trainee.
Proven in medical device manufacturing
-
Boston Scientific: line clearance
16,000+ line clearance training sessions at Boston Scientific Cork.
-
Freudenberg Medical: EP catheter onboarding
75% less training lead time and 50% lower scrap rate, from Freudenberg Medical’s published case study. Mersus built the VR training in that programme.
-
Boston Scientific: chemical process
Training that took four or five weeks, now run six or seven times in a day in a virtual lab.
What buyers ask us
Which procedures can you simulate?
Line clearance, assembly, inspection and equipment operation, built from your own procedures with your subject matter experts.
Which headsets does it run on?
Avatar Academy is compatible with the Meta Quest line. The headsets are standalone, so no PC or server is needed. We can supply them, or you can use your own.
How is it licensed?
One annual site licence covers unlimited operators on that site. See how licensing works.
How long does a custom simulation take?
Typically 6 to 16 weeks, depending on complexity. Ready-made courses are live in hours, with support included.
Does VR training replace our own sign-off?
No. Avatar Academy records every exam attempt as evidence before your own sign-off. Your sign-off process stays yours.
