The Challenge
Develop a fully portable anesthesia gas monitoring unit with:
- Durable housing for harsh environments
- Lightweight components for easy transport
- Simple, fast-reading LCD interface
- FDA-ready documentation for manufacturing
The device had to accommodate real-time tracking of oxygen, CO2, nitrous oxide, and pulse without becoming bulky or cost-prohibitive.
Our Solution
PrototyperLab delivered a full-stack design—from concept to FDA documentation—on a rapid timeline.
Key Services
- Industrial Design – Durable yet compact form factor for field use
- Mechanical Engineering – Enclosure modeled in Poly-Urethane for cost-effective casting
- Electronics Engineering – Compact, energy-efficient vitals display
