Design a rugged product that accommodates and activates a disposable collection cartridge that is environmentally sealed from contamination as well as facilitate ease of use and manufacturing objectives.
The enclosure was designed using high impact injected molded plastics with custom elastomeric gaskets and an over molded battery access door to achieve ruggedization and environmental requirements. All external interfaces including the tactile, display, and cartridge actuators were sealed to prevent contamination and promote cleanability. The mechanical architecture of the product was developed to meet manufacturing, assembly, test , and serviceability objectives.
Internal fluidic handling and collection components were combined with an integrated enclosure shell to form a single disposable cartridge. Structural attachments, activation interfaces, air path features, and user access as well as cosmetic elements were carefully partitioned and coordinated within the mechanical team resulting in an integrated consumable strategy that met all functional requirements.
Cost, performance, and innovation trade-offs were constantly evaluated in an effort to optimize the design to best meet functional, consumable, and manufacturing objectives.
