HS Design, Inc.

HS Design, Inc. of Gladstone, NJ is proud to have supported the judging of the BMEidea 2010 competition.  This is the third year Tor Alden has participated in the selection of the 2010 competition winners.  Alden said “judging the competition remains exciting as the students apply innovative ideas to real world problems.”  The finalists will be announced at the MD&M tradeshow in NYC at 11am, June 9, 2010.

NCIIA organizes two annual biomedical engineering competitions for university students. The objectives of these competitions are to identify and recognize innovative, commercially promising medical devices and technologies developed by entrepreneurial student teams.

Teams of students working with faculty and industry mentors submit entries that are evaluated by judges drawn from academia and industry. Winning entries must solve a clinical problem; meet technical, economic, legal, and regulatory requirements; feature novel and practical designs; and show potential for commercialization. Submissions are judged on technical feasibility, clinical utility, economic feasibility and market potential, novelty and patentability, potential for commercialization and benefit to quality of life and care.

HSD worked hand in hand with Innovative Neurotronics to develop WalkAide, a revolutionary medical device that leverages functional electrical stimulation for improving the walking ability of people living with foot drop.

HSD assisted Globalstar in the design of the next generation SPOT Satellite GPS.  Designed for rugged use, where cell phones wont work, this emergency communications device is 20% smaller and lighter than the previous device.

HSD credited in 2009 MDEA award for NeuroStar TMS Therapy System.  The NeuroStar TMS Therapy system is an FDA-approved, noninvasive therapeutic device for the treatment of depression. It operates by applying a focused, pulsed magnetic field that inductively stimulates cortical neurons associated with depression.

Use of Circulating Tumor Cell Technology recognized by Cleveland Clinic as #1 Top Medical Innovation for 2009. Immunicon’s new technology to measure circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a sample of blood to aid in the early detection of rogue cancer cells in patients with recurrent cancer.  For more information, visit: http://www.clevelandclinic.org/innovations/summit/topten09/one.html

Bios Defender/Definer Series receives 2008 Industrial Design Excellence Award – IDEA.   The Defender and Definer Primary Flow Meters are field-portable primary gas flow meters. Connecting this meter to a gas source allows for accurate measurement of gas flow, and if optioned, gas pressure and gas temperature. The Defender version is focused on the industrial hygiene and environmental pollution monitoring industries for calibration of air sampling and pollution monitoring equipment; the Definer version has additional functionality and accuracy for use in industrial manufacturing processes, laboratory flow measurement, and measurement of gases in pharmaceutical and medical applications. These instruments were designed for simplicity in which a technician can easily obtain gas flow measurements with the simple push of a button.

Siemens introduces the redesigned Vantage Analyzer.  Simple, convenient testing is enabled by an intuitive color touch screen display. The operator loads the test cartridge which includes the patient sample onto the system and walks away. The system automatically performs the test procedure, stores the patient results and displays, prints and/or uploads patient results to the LIS/HIS

The analyzer leverages robust technology and delivers the proven performance of the DCA HbA1c and DCA Microalbumin/Creatinine tests highlighted in over 100 clinical articles. Provide the clinical confidence you and your patients deserve by adopting the DCA Vantage system, the analyzer used by three out of four physicians who perform HbA1c testing in their office. HSD assisted Siemens in the design and user experience of the DCA Vantage Analyzer, a point-of-care immunoassay analyzer for diabetes management.
