February 02 2021 - 10:00AM
Intelligent Product Solutions (IPS) and Kablooe Design, today
announced the launch of a complete medical device design and
engineering service, leveraging the expertise of these two
award-winning product design firms. IPS and Kablooe, subsidiaries
of Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FORD), have complementary services
that help medical device companies successfully design, develop and
launch new products.
With this complete medical device engineering and design
offering, IPS/Kablooe services ensure speed to market of medical
device products, successful user adoption and assurance of market
advantage. The IPS/Kablooe combined services offering includes
human factors engineering, verification and regulatory support
along with upfront research and testing.
“Our combined expertise is unmatched in the industry and enables
us to deliver the best-in-class medical device design services,”
said Mitch Maiman, president of IPS. “Located in the heartland of
medical device development, Kablooe has a strong reputation,
expertise and track record in medical device design and we are
thrilled to join with them to deliver this complete medical device
design service.”
Tom KraMer, CEO of Kablooe commented, “With the extensive design
and engineering service offerings available through this
partnership, our clients are assured of an expert team from start
to finish. We are agile, user centric, and flexible enough to
always adapt our services to the needs of our clients, whether it
is invention, feasibility, proof of concept, or design for
production manufacturing. We now have the power to do it all.”
Among its medical product design projects, IPS was awarded the
GOOD DESIGN AWARD for its work on the AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle,
a personal medical device leveraging IOT technology to address
medication adherence. The AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle is currently
used by leading pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies across the
globe.
Kablooe’s many medical device design projects include the
world class design and development of the Rezum® surgical system.
Kablooe went from beginning to end with NxThera to get the Rezum®
system into hospitals and clinics in the U.S. and worldwide,
leading to its acquisition by Boston Scientific. Nonin Medical
has also regularly partnered with Kablooe, and most recently they
worked together to create a patient monitoring solution that was
easy to use and provided consistent measurements time after time in
a rugged, reliable way for emergency responders.
CEO and Chairman of Forward Industries Terry Wise commented,
“The integrated service offering combining the first-rate
competencies of both Kablooe and IPS underpins our acquisition
strategy. Forward’s ability to provide excellence in medical device
design and engineering, a fast-growing sector, clearly positions
the company for continued growth.”
