Atracsys is proud to partner with SQI, a France-based provider of software development and regulatory services for medical devices, to support manufacturers developing surgical navigation and robotic applications. Built on a long-standing collaboration, the partnership combines Atracsys’ optical tracking expertise with SQI’s software development and regulatory capabilities to help manufacturers move from tracking technology to application-level implementation.
“SQI trusted partner for years, Atracsys delivers the market’s highest-performing locators, combining absolute reliability with seamless integration. From breakthrough medical innovations to tailor-made solutions, their R&D drives our success.”
— Sylvain Besson, CEO of SQI
Developing surgical navigation and robotic systems requires both reliable tracking technology and the integration of tracking data into a certified medical software application. Atracsys’ optical tracking solutions, together with its Software Development Kit (SDK), provide manufacturers with the tools to access and use high-precision tracking data. But, building the final application often requires additional expertise, from defining how tracking data is used in the clinical workflow and displayed to the user, to developing the software in compliance with medical device regulations.
This is where SQI plays an important role. SQI supports the custom design and development of software for medical devices, from proof of concept to certified product, including regulatory strategy and support through CE and FDA certification pathways. Together, Atracsys and SQI help manufacturers build integrated solutions where tracking data is effectively used within the intended clinical workflow. Over the years, SQI has developed strong familiarity with Atracsys’ optical tracking systems and SDK, enabling a more efficient collaboration when supporting medical device manufacturers.
“Over the years, SQI has developed an in-depth understanding of our optical tracking systems and SDK through the many projects they’ve delivered around our technology with leading MedTech companies. This makes our collaboration particularly efficient when supporting manufacturers.”
— Mehdi Laaboudi, Head of Global Product Management and R&D, Atracsys
SQI has also become an innovation partner for Atracsys. Through its work on medical software projects across various clinical fields, SQI provides valuable feedback on new Atracsys products. This helps Atracsys better understand how its technologies are implemented in practice, so that it can develop optical tracking solutions that deliver strong value in real-world medical device applications.
Atracsys looks forward to continuing its collaboration with SQI to support the next generation of surgical navigation and robotic applications. By combining optical tracking expertise with medical software development and regulatory capabilities, both companies aim to help manufacturers bring reliable and clinically relevant solutions to market faster.
