This is a device that is intended to detect if there is a concussion injury, for instance in sports people during a match. It works in a similar way to a COVID test, using saliva which is internally analysed and a test result is seen through a window in the device. It was designed in conjunction with the client.
My work covered the steps from concept to manufacture:
- Concept ideas
- Liaison with clinicians, laboratory experts, moulders and the clients
- CAD design development
- Design for manufacture
The first order is for 5,150,000 units this year
Concussion testing device
 The design involved substantial development in conjunction with other parties involved in the technical aspects. |  The device works by inserting a swab with saliva, which is then processed inside the device and analysed with special chemicals. |
|---|---|
 The dimensions of the device have to be very accurate and top quality engineering plastics are used for its manufacture. |  The cap is screwed into the device to squeeze the saliva out of the swab. |
 CAD development with attention to fine detailing and accuracy. |  Working prototype for testing. It is translucent so that technicians can see what happens inside during tests. |
 Moulded sample assembly |
