Nycomed Preobox compliance system

Nycomed Preobox compliance system

The high cost of a new self-injected osteoporosis pharmaceutical was the focus of a project for Nordic company Nycomed. (Now Takeda). The aim was to help encourage users to comply, over a lengthy course of self-administered treatment when no immediate improvement would be felt. An electronic compliance case was considered, but would be developed as a MkII product. This case was developed in-time for the launch of the new drug. (Developed whilst at Pearson Matthews).

We finalised the design fully in 3D CAD and prepared a package of component and assembly drawings for the toolmaker. We worked with the toolmaker confirming all the details on the Tool GA.
We selected the Far East manufacturer for the product and managed the manufacturing stage of the project. The product was validated and delivered directly from the manufacturer to the customer.

  • COMPLIANCE KIT CONCEPT SKETCHES

    Product ideas and concepts for the osteoporosis kit were initially explored via concept sketches, looking at the component arrangement and kit construction.

  • COMPLIANCE KIT FORM FOAM MODELS

    The form of the compliance case was developed via foam models. These provide a quick way to visualise the form and refine it before proceeding to 3D CAD.

  • COMPLIANCE KIT MECHANISM

    A simple custom form wire spring was designed to perform two mechanical functions - an eject mechanism for the drug vial and the main case sprung latch.

  • OSTEOPOROSIS COMPLIANCE PRODUCT

    The product was manufactured and assembled in the Far East. Working closely with the toolmakers ensured the product was delivered on time and to budget.
