Project Description: Medical & Laboratory

Design Team: Cesaroni Design & Haemoscope

This medical device is used by anesthesiologists to measure the strength, stability and rate of blood clot development in a patient during surgical procedures. The Haemoscope Corporation wanted to stay ahead of their competition both aesthetically and technologically by developing a new generation medical product.

Advanced technological methods and developments were the drivers behind the redesign of this device. The Cesaroni Design new medical product design firm focused on creating a design language and interface that communicates the workings inside the unit.

Development of this medical product moved into 3D CAD. This 3D modeling made it possible to have models quickly produced. From these prototypes we made molds for cast polyurethane parts. We could use these polyurethane covers for testing while the pressure forming molds were being tooled. This overlapping of efforts enabled our client's sales teams to begin selling the unit months before production parts were ready out of the molds.

Human factors considerations improved upon the existing design. This user interface design no longer requires the user to bend over and squat next to the machine in order to load the samples. The loading zone is significantly larger and well lit for better visibility and accuracy. Easy to see and decipher indicators are angled toward the user in order to provide rapid recognition of samples.

Cesaroni Design industrial designers selected pressure forming as means to manufacture the covers. The new product consists of 3 plastic parts that are approximately 75% smaller than the existing units. The elected manufacturing process is also conducive to low and medium volume production.

Pressure forming parts allowed freedom of form and incorporation of aesthetic details. Fewer fasteners are required to give the medical device a smooth finished look. As a result the parts are lighter, easier to clean and less expensive to manufacture and assemble than previous steel fabrication.

Service for the product requires minimal assembly and disassembly. Removing the rear cover exposes all internal components.
