Urinalysis Spectrometer - Design Update and Manufacture

Siemens, a leading healthcare company, partnered with Solsta to address their needs for sourcing components for a spectrometer subassembly used in one of their urinalysis instruments. Solsta provided Siemens with necessary components such as LEDs and CCDs and facilitated an introduction to a subassembly manufacturer, managing the supply chain to deliver the completed subassembly to Siemens. When the subassembly manufacturer later closed down its production facility, Solsta proactively stepped in to remedy the situation by transferring the production of the subassembly in-house to their facility in Weymouth.
During the transfer process, Solsta implemented several improvements to enhance the production process. They automated the die stamping and wire bonding processes, resulting in improved reliability and accuracy during assembly, and enhanced the qualification and test procedures, further reducing the possibility of errors or failures in the manufacturing process and increasing overall product reliability.
Continued Production: By swiftly transferring the production of the subassembly to their own facility in Weymouth, Solsta ensured uninterrupted manufacturing for Siemens’ urinalysis instrument.
Improved Production Process: Solsta’s automation of the die stamping and wire bonding processes led to enhanced reliability and accuracy during assembly. The automation reduced the potential for human error, leading to improved product quality and consistency.
Solsta’s quality operating procedure certification for compliance with the ISO 13485 medical standard demonstrates their commitment to manufacturing high-quality medical devices.
Solsta’s collaboration with Siemens exemplifies their ability to provide comprehensive solutions to complex challenges. By swiftly transferring production in-house and implementing process improvements, Solsta ensured the continuity of Siemens’ urinalysis instrument manufacturing.
