Discover Why a Rapid Diagnostic Medical Device Was Failing

A manufacturer of rapid diagnostic medical devices was having an issue with field failures and rejection rates as high as 30%. Additionally, there were problems with adhesion and leaky cartridges. The application involved bonding a ceramic disc into a plastic well. The customer suspected that the adhesive used to assemble the parts together was not working or was the wrong material because the components were not adhering together properly. It was vital to quickly identify if the adhesive was the appropriate one for the application, and solving the problem was critical since the potential for additional field failures was great and the customer was line down until the issue was identified.
