An idea might seem revolutionary in theory but when put to real test in terms of an end product without adequate research it might not live up to the expectations of the end user. It’s necessary to analyze end-user requirements and technology acceptance rate before rushing to the next stage.

The COVID-19 outbreak has suddenly brought an upsurge in the IVD manufacturing segment. Based on the Allied Market research, the global market of in-vitro diagnostics devices is estimated to reach $91.09 Billion at an impressive CAGR of 4.8% by 2027. The demand for rapid and on-point care/diagnostic systems is rising significantly. As the demand is rising, Johari is re-inventing capabilities to satisfy the growing demands of the industry.

Supply chain management in medical device industry is one of the key pillars for efficient Manufacturing. A robust supply chain minimizes the disruption to the manufacturing cycle in case of an unforeseen adversity.

During COVID-19 most Medical Device manufacturing companies faced many hurdles including component shortages, price hikes, new technology demand and excessive pressure to keep quality intact with limited resources. Several major hurdles are briefly discussed below:

Wondering, why industrial design plays a crucial role in medical device manufacturing?

Industrial design determines the ultimate fate of the product in any manufacturing project. The objective of every product is to meet the end-user requirement, remain cost-effective, and match the contemporary industry standards of innovation, technology and, aesthetics.

Launching & manufacturing a new medical product in the market entails multiple risks. Medical Device Prototyping is done to identify opportunities and challenges in the initial stages of medical device design development. It is necessary to evaluate end design, function, and material at the prototype level. A minor mistake or ignorance at the prototype level can complicate manufacturing, stretch the production time and, incur a significant financial loss.

Medical Device designers often miss out on accessibility factors of products. Medical Device accessibility is the ease of use & comfort a device can offer. A Medical Device is eventually designed for end-user’s delight, if it fails to offer smooth functionality then all efforts are ruined.

Outsourcing manufacturing has become a trend amongst global MedTech giants. Asia Pacific holds a major share in the global contract

Finalizing the technique to use while designing medical device parts & enclosures is tough. At our premises, we play around with many techniques to design sturdy and medical-grade enclosures.

One of the in-trend techniques for designing medical grade enclosures/devices is Plastic Injection Molding.

Be it a smartwatch you wear in your day-to-day life or an MRI machine in a large healthcare facility. Everything has a PCB at its core. It’s the brain controlling the functioning of the device.
