Instant Recall & Targeted Population-at-Risk Isolation for Medical Devices
An ISO 13485-certified medical device manufacturer produces portable patient monitoring units containing sensitive microprocessor boards and rechargeable lithium power modules. Production involves high-volume SMT PCBA assembly followed by multi-stage device integration and burn-in testing.

The challenge
A component supplier issues an urgent safety recall warning that a batch of ceramic capacitors (Supplier Lot # CAP-7942-B) contains micro-cracks capable of causing thermal short circuits.
Traditional material issue records are tied loosely to monthly work order blocks in static spreadsheets, making it impossible to quickly isolate which specific units contain the bad lot.
To guarantee safety, quality managers face the prospect of a blanket quarantine of an entire quarter's production (3,000+ units), causing massive financial loss, customer panic, and supply shortages.
How Anvaya solves it
Supplier Lot Filtering
Quality managers enter Supplier Lot # CAP-7942-B directly into the Anvaya Lot and Supplier Filter.
Forward Genealogic Tracing
Anvaya executes a forward trace from the defective capacitor lot through SMT sub-assembly work orders to final patient monitor serial numbers.
Population-at-Risk Isolation
The platform identifies the exact 142 finished device serial numbers that consumed capacitors from Supplier Lot # CAP-7942-B, proving that the remaining 2,858 units are completely unaffected.
Automated Containment Plan Generation
With one click, Anvaya exports an actionable Containment Plan detailing unit serial numbers, current inventory locations (WIP, Warehouse, Shipped), and customer delivery IDs.
Targeted Floor Quarantine
Quality teams immediately lock down the 142 affected serials in inventory and issue surgical customer notices while 95% of active assembly lines continue operating safely.
The outcome
- quarantined product volume drops
- 0%quarantined product volume drops
- recall investigation and containment plan generation completed
- 0 minutesrecall investigation and containment plan generation completed
Quarantined product volume drops by 95% (isolating exactly 142 units instead of 3,000+ units), saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary product destruction and replacements.
Recall investigation and containment plan generation completed in 15 minutes compared to 72 hours under manual methods.
Zero unaffected customer shipments are delayed, maintaining clean factory throughput and preserving brand reputation.

Capabilities used
Every accelerator is assembled from the same capability layer, so a workflow you adopt here shares its foundation with the rest of the portfolio.
