Image-Guided Therapy Device for Vascular Surgery
Coronary imaging technology plays a vital role in diagnosing vascular diseases, a leading cause of death among men and women. These devices assist cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and vascular surgeons with treating, planning, and performing surgical procedures.
This Canvys customer is a leader in vascular intervention, focused on improving people’s health and enabling better outcomes across the health continuum from healthy living and prevention, to diagnosis, treatment, and home care.
The company manufactures a laser system with disposable catheters for treating peripheral and coronary arterial disease. The system utilizes photoablation (the use of light to break down, vaporize and remove matter) to remove binding arterial plaques.
The display solution project was initiated as an effort to improve the monitor design as part of the customer’s “next-gen” product release. The intent was to create a user interface that would meet mechanical requirements and provide interface connectivity while maintaining medical certifications in a long-life solution. Canvys was engaged as the display expert and was intimately involved in design efforts for HMI and build-related improvements. Project responsibility included pre-design verification build, functional prototype build, design verification build, and the production release.
Throughout program development, the customer along with Canvys’ engineering, program management, and sales teams worked together to develop the HMI parameters and product build characteristics. Canvys utilized existing and custom designs to develop a robust, long-term solution that could be readily implemented and approved by regulatory agencies. The customer ultimately chose to use Canvys for complete BOM sourcing and build at its ISO13485-approved facility in Marlborough, MA as a complete “one-stop solution” for its custom display requirement.
