2020 Good Design Award Winner: A Testament to Early Stage Design and Manufacturing Integration
The accolade of the 2020 Good Design Award of the Year was bestowed upon a project that exemplifies the pinnacle of what can be achieved when innovative design is closely integrated with manufacturing from the outset. This award-winning project stemmed from a collaborative effort among industry leaders:
This collaboration is a prime example of how an OEM manufacturer can leverage cutting-edge design practices to push the boundaries of product development, demonstrating the benefits of early-stage involvement in:
-
Manufacturing Efficiency
-
Product Excellence
Keywords: OEM Manufacturer, 2020 Good Design Award, Design and Manufacturing Integration, Collaborative Product Development, Headsafe, 4Design, LXGroup, Vestech, Threegon, Innovative Product Design, Manufacturing Excellence.
In October 2018, our Design for Manufacturing (DFM) process commenced, focusing on the seamless transition from CAD designs to tooling. The project presented significant challenges due to the need for stringent IP ratings on sub-assemblies, necessitating meticulous design considerations to prevent water and dust ingress.
Key Highlights:
-
Tooling and Prototyping: The project involved the creation of 30 unique tool sets to produce approximately 75 distinct mechanical parts, showcasing our capability in handling complex assemblies.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Transitioning from CAD to T0 samples was under intense pressure, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards through trial units.
-
Efficiency in Execution: The DFM phase was completed in 4-5 weeks, a testament to our efficiency and expertise in manufacturing complex products.
Achievement: By late December 2018, we successfully produced T0 off-tool sample parts, marking a significant milestone in our project timeline. This achievement underscores our commitment to excellence in OEM manufacturing services, from design optimization to production readiness.

"Many thanks to you and your team for working with us through the ups and downs. The project did have its moments!
We wouldn’t have achieved this milestone without your support. You guys have been amazing partners throughout this journey.
Please pass on our thanks to the team with honourable mentions to Yang Lin and Oliver for persevering with me and the time pressures!
We are looking forward to working with you on the next chapter of this fantastic device.
Well done and we’ll speak soon."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nurochek Pro Submission Marks Final Regulatory Milestone for U.S. Healthcare Market Entry
The submission for the Nurochek Pro product, made in November, represents the final step in a comprehensive regulatory strategy aimed at optimizing product entry into the U.S. healthcare system. This submission leverages the diagnostic algorithm cleared under the Nurochek II FDA Clearance (K231914) alongside advancements from the original Nurochek I device (FDA Clearance K220705).
The Nurochek Pro incorporates new electrical components and custom-designed electrodes, enhancements designed to improve data signal quality and, consequently, diagnostic accuracy.
Utilizing upgraded hardware, further concussion data was collected in sports settings. This data supports the use of Nurochek-II as the predicate device for Nurochek Pro, with expectations from initial testing that performance metrics will at least match, if not exceed, those already accepted by the FDA.
FDA clearance for Nurochek Pro is anticipated as early as Q1 2025. However, recognizing the FDA's potential requests for additional information, preparations are underway in collaboration with external experts to address anticipated queries. The goal is to minimize any delay in clearance and to expedite the start of sales within the U.S. market.
About Nurochek: Nurochek is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge diagnostic tools for concussion detection, committed to improving patient outcomes through innovation and technology.
Story Continues! Stay Tuned.
"Just wanted to say well done on the amazing work with NCD Pulse.
The final production units look beautiful.
Not only all the hard work and many details from the entire project, but also the final details including the tolerance around the propeller/base, white touch around the buttons, un-boxing, and the necessary printed product codes all presented excellent.
Well done everyone and thank you for an amazing project and push in the last few months for completing and dispatching under such tough time constraints and complications with factory closures."
Cheers all
