Developing non-invasive diagnostic devices, whether for use in clinical settings or for patient use at home, is a core part of patient health. From lab-on-a-chip diagnostics to EWOD microfluidic devices, we have worked with clients to solve some of the complexities of bringing diagnostic devices to fruition.
We have in depth knowledge and experience in in-vitro and in-vivo device development that need to adhere to Federal and European medical regulations.
Innovation in this industry knows no bounds and we are excited to be part of this journey with our clients.
Respiratory diagnostics
Our engineers and scientists have experience of developing homecare devices, such as FeNO, spirometer and sleep monitoring technologies, where it is necessary to understand the science of the sensors as well as good engineering design and volume production requirements. We also have expertise in human factors and developing connected devices.
Hospital equipment manufacturers also work with Sanner to improve the accuracy and performance of their technology. Examples include more accurate and rapid measurement of gas concentrations and flow rates in ventilators, and imaging diagnostics such as bronchoscopes.
Following our ISO 13485 accredited quality management system, we can bring your device all the way from early feasibility studies, through to V&V and transfer to manufacture.
In vivo diagnostics
As consumer wearable technology becomes more mainstream, we are seeing an increasing cross-over of medical technology into our daily lives. As these devices become more sophisticated and capable of providing more information about the wearer, there is an increasing opportunity for in vivo diagnostics (IVD’s) to make significant improvements to people’s health.
To realise this potential, it is vital that these new devices are developed with the same level of rigour as traditional medical devices. We are able to apply our extensive experience of the medical industry with our specialist knowledge of complex physics and sensing to create robust designs and reliable products.
Understanding the user is also key to success. This is true for all product developments but particularly so for on body devices where the user is required to wear the device for an extended period. Our extensive experience developing on body drug delivery devices translates well to the considerations needed of wearable diagnostics, and our team’s capabilities in usability engineering and industrial design ensure that all of our design put the user first.
Imaging
Developing complex machines like MRI scanners, ultrasound devices or even nuclear PET scanners takes time and considerable outlay. Therefore, it’s vital to get the design right, first time around.
Even before expensive prototypes are developed, clients often engage with us to create simulations and theoretical modelling to ensure the designs will work, minimising design costs and providing a focus on what’s important for the end user.
We have worked with clients to develop various imaging machines in order to meet market demand. Our experience includes designing smaller X-ray machines that can produce excellent image resolution and making sure that the imaging equipment designed suits patient and surgical equipment need.
Our understanding of cryo-coolers and vibration isolation in MRI development offer clients in-depth knowledge of designing for this market. Advances in this field are at a rapid pace and clients who are taking advantage of AI and machine learning to provide a deeper understanding will dictate the devices of the future. Our team of scientists, software engineers and developers can help pave the way to keep you at the forefront of the industry.
