Project Description
Saliva Collection and Testing Device
Client: Innovacon / Alere
Our Role
- Design second generation iScreen OFD assay device, focusing on increasing usability, product performance and manufacturabiliy.
Unique Features and Accomplishments
- Human factors study revealed design issues in first generation device that encouraged incorrect testing procedure and allowed test to proceed without adequate starting material.
- New design eliminated incorrect testing position and encouraged proper use of testing device.
- New design attractive, easy to use with increased manufacturability.
Expertise Employed
- While all projects benefit from our development process and expertise in design, engineering, and in-house rapid prototyping, this project highlights our expertise in:
- Design for manufacturing
- Industrial design
- Mechanical engineering
- Rapid Prototyping
