A medical device startup developed a cytometric sepsis diagnostic system that uses a novel microfluidic assay to diagnose sepsis in patients by observing whether and to what extent single white blood cells deform when subjected to hydrodynamic forces. The client asked Syncroness to help them turn their proof-of-concept prototypes into a medical device and disposables that were ready for clinical trials while considering the cost, manufacturability, and usability required for such a medical device.

The UAV customer was experiencing a high number of failures during drone flights, but couldn’t pinpoint the root cause. A team of Syncroness engineers helped redesign the system architecture and subsystem, creating modularity to streamline manufacturing operations for easier assembly, less maintenance and greater reliability.

Wearable medical devices are a growing market segment in the medical device industry. However, making a wearable heart monitor almost inevitably means that the device must be battery-powered, which makes managing the energy budget of the device a key concern.

XCOR Aerospace asked Syncroness to analyze a family of valves for an LH2/LO2 upper stage engine to demonstrate compliance with their customer’s requirements. The valves are subjected to extreme operating pressures, temperatures, and flow rates. Syncroness simulated valve performance in parallel with XCOR’s design of the valve assemblies.

For highly-regulated industries, development of the product is only half the battle. A complete, documented verification plan and execution leads to a reliable product in the field and reduced risk.
