What the program produces

  • 99.7% first pass yield

  • On time delivery in the upper 90% range

  • Work that is right the first time does not re-enter the queue. A build with no rework ships on the date we gave you. The training program and the quality system are what a 15 week lead time is built on.

  • Our customers build data centers, defense systems and production lines where failure carries a real cost. The people assembling that equipment are trained to the same standard the equipment is held to. We build for customers who cannot afford failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does FSE manufacture sub-components for medical device OEMs?

Yes. FSE builds precision wire harnesses, cable assemblies, control panels, custom enclosures, and electromechanical sub-assemblies for medical device OEMs. Every assembly ships with full serialization, complete component traceability, and 100% functional and Hi-pot testing, all backed by IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 workmanship.

Can FSE meet OEM supplier qualification requirements for medical device programs?

Yes. FSE builds to IPC Class 3 workmanship, runs APQP and PPAP on every program, and provides complete documentation packages (serialization, BOM traceability, test records, and configuration management) that support the audits and qualification reviews medical device OEM regulatory teams require.

Is FSE an FDA-registered medical device manufacturer?

FSE manufactures sub-components and sub-assemblies that medical device OEMs integrate into their finished products. We are not a finished medical device manufacturer. The OEMs we serve hold device-level certifications such as FDA registration and ISO 13485, and FSE provides the precision contract manufacturing that meets their supplier qualification standards.

How does FSE support long medical device product lifecycles?

Medical devices often stay in service for 10-15 years, which makes component obsolescence a real risk to your program. FSE audits your Bill of Materials during the design phase to flag long-lead and end-of-life components, establishes secure cross-references, and runs Vendor Managed Inventory programs to insulate your program against supply chain disruption. Configuration management is documented across the full lifecycle.
