We will get your device approved by the FDA and manufactured profitably with less delays, cost over-runs, and headaches.
Exploring ways to improve quality and reliability, shorten time to market, and increase efficiencies is always good business practice-but perhaps never more so than in today's challenging economy.
Whether you're updating a current medical device to stay ahead of the competition or launching an entirely new generation point of care product to the healthcare marketplace it is likely that your product contains pressure sensitive film adhesives.
Understanding the assembly challenges these components present early on in the product development phase helps the innovator bring manufacturable products to fruition smoothly. Thus, maintaining the competitive and technological edge through timely realization.
With hundreds of applications of experience in medical device, biosensor, rapid diagnostic point of care tests, The AccuPlace team stands ready to assist you in implementing pressure sensitive film adhesive assembly solutions.
Solutions that not only improve quality and reliability and are easier and more affordable to produce, they actually reduce end-user costs and enhance patient safety - all key advantages in positioning your products in today's competitive marketplace.

Successful Slide Labeler Acquired By Major Distributor
When the American Society of Pathological Research reported "Slide labeling alone accounts for 67% of defects," we saw an opportunity. We created a system with the following benefits to lab technicians:
- Eliminates Labels: Prints directly on the slide to save time and money
- Fits Anywhere: Size of a small toaster was dramatically smaller than existing solutions
- Easy to Read: Printed black 300dpi images or other colors
- Durable ID: Resists Xylene and other harsh chemicals
Combined with it's ability to accept data from a barcode scanner, keyboard, or computer, this product was a runaway success within the laboratory industry. So much, that a major medical equipment distributor purchased the rights to this product.
Consumable BioSensor Technology Eliminates Need for Invasive Blood Tests
We provided the medical device manufacturing expertise for sensor technology allowing selective detection of specific analytes in saliva. This eliminates the need for more invasive procedures required with blood tests.
High precision was needed to produce sensors capable of performing cellular and molecular assays with accuracy and precision in a point-of-care format. We assembled a biochip diagnostic device that is consumable. It loads into a diagnostic machine at the point of care for quick diagnosis of the particular test.
The assembly consists of adhesive vents, adhesive membranes, labels, seals, and double sided tape. The client chose us due to overall experience with medical assembly of this type and supply chain relationships to help with the adhesive part development. The end product was optimally manufacturability via automation, and bound to change the future of medical diagnostic testing.
Complex Assembly for Disposable Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment
The treatment is clinically shown to reduce sleep apnea mild, moderate, and severe OSA by using nasal expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP). During inhalation, a novel MicroValve design allows nearly unobstructed airflow through the nose. During exhalation, the valve closes, limiting airflow through two small openings, which increases expiratory pressure.
This private medical company came to us because we could help them with project development and prove the concept in advance without substantial capital investment. They also needed medical device manufacturers with expertise in standardized automation, as they felt this product would be easily duplicatable as their volumes increase.
We assembled and inspected the whole device. The assembly consists of 4 components, 2 of which are adhesive parts. A part that is not assembled correctly will not work and thus the patient would not get a good nights sleep.
Have Low Tolerance for Seal Placement Errors?
A client needed bubble-free seals to ensure no leakage of fluid between micro capillary channels of their low blood volume microsample testing cuvettes. Our medical device manufacturing process consisted of placing a seal, plus printing and placing a barcode. They chose us because of proven ability for extreme accuracy, ability to place bubble-free (this is a tight tolerance application) and experience in the medical field.
Reliable Quality for Colostomy Bags
We probably don't need to tell you a failure in a colostomy bag seal brings about odor control issues and an unpleasant experience for all involved. A leading manufacturer of colostomy bags came to use to place Velcro-type material to seal the bags, plus other adhesive elements. The customer chose us because of previous good experience with our equipment, worldwide support network, accuracy and reliability of placement.
Top Secret Project with No Room for Adhesive Placement Errors
This project is so top secret, we can't even vaguely refer to what it does. Just watch the news. What we can tell you, is it requires extremely accurate placement of a 0.010" of adhesive, plus other difficulties associated with handling small parts.
They turned to us because other medical device manufacturing vendors failed understanding challenges associated with adhesive placement. Accuracy is crucial for this application. We also provided expertise with coordinating the supply of the adhesive parts with a vendor we know quite well to ensure the system works.
Included: Tight Coordination with Adhesive Parts Vendors
The company pioneered the development of a novel multi-sensor, dry enzyme system capable of instantly measuring several analytes simultaneously. The novelty of this system's technology lies in the tiny test strips, which created challenges with accuracy. We solved this issue for them and also coordinated the supply of the adhesive parts with a vendor we know quite well to ensure the system worked.
Clean Room Equipment Options Available
The customer needed accurate, bubble-free placement, plus a strong relationship with the adhesive parts vendor. We provided all that while placing seals and double sided tapes using clean room options on our equipment.
