The Medical Device and life sciences industries must adhere to strict quality and consistency rules, making process management a critical concern. For total traceability and process validation, all materials and production processes, including machining, assembly, and packaging, must be documented. Fluid dispensing applications in Medical Device assembly, point-of-care testing (POCT) and near-patient testing (NPT) goods, and other life sciences applications such as medical wearables are all critical.
These applications necessitate precise and constant deposition of UV-cure adhesives, cyanoacrylates, silicones, and other fluids in their fluid quantities. Regardless of the application, the fluids being dispensed, or the dispensing technique used, the approach must meet volume throughput and cost efficiency objectives while preserving quality. Any increase in assembly-related production volume is frequently the driving force behind the switch to a more efficient dispensing method.
Automated robotic fluid dispensing systems were provided in response to requests made early in the COVID-19 pandemic to mass produce a minor sub-assembly inside Ventec Life Systems’ unique ventilators. Ventec’s critical care ventilators are lightweight and portable, giving front-line medical personnel the tools they need to combat COVID-19. A UV-cure acrylic was used to glue two components together in the sub-assembly application.Ventec was employing manual dispensing procedures prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 compelled the corporation to expand swiftly in order to meet a 180 percent increase in monthly production output. This was made possible in part thanks to the use of automated robotic fluid dispensing systems.
