Smart Medication Dispenser
A customer came to ±«Óãtv for help refining the design of a device that provides controlled access to medication. ±«Óãtv improved its manufacturability and provided fast-turn prototype parts to speed its development.
The Problem
-
MedicaSafe designed a revolutionary device to address Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This unique product features sublingual medications enclosed in tamper-evident cartridges, dispensed through a SmartKey. It logs and reports each authorized dose, ensuring that patients only take them as prescribed.
-
MedicaSafe recognized the importance of strategic collaboration and turned to ±«Óãtv to help develop early prototypes and provide guidance for future production goals.
The Solution
Improving Manufacturability // ±«Óãtv provided the expertise MedicaSafe needed to refine the design of its cartridge and SmartKey. ±«Óãtv streamlined this process by providing 3D-printed parts on a fast-turn basis. These additive technologies helped the MedicaSafe team check fit, finish and functionality. Next, ±«Óãtv produced tooling and injection-molded prototypes within weeks. We also helped the MedicaSafe team gather documentation to meet stringent FDA materials reporting requirements.
The Results
-
The MedicaSafe product has undergone rigorous verification and validation testing, specifically ISO 60601, EMC/FCC testing.
-
It also underwent a rigorous biocompatibility assessment, demonstrating its efficacy and meeting all necessary standards.
-
It is now actively deployed to address pressing unmet needs among patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
