Nasogastric Ultrasound Scanner
/)
A breakthrough medical device was required to improve the accuracy of nasogastric (NG) tube placement. The solution had to be compact, reliable, and capable of operating in demanding clinical settings. The device needed to meet IPX67 compliance, ensuring leakproof sealing and durability, while also providing drop resistance and real-time ultrasound detection within a miniaturised enclosure.
FVG partnered in the full development and integration of the ultrasound scanner, managing both electronics and mechanical requirements to ensure medical-grade performance.
Manufacturing Process:
Full Box Build: End-to-end integration covering PCB design, firmware development, and mechanical fabrication.
Testing and Inspection: Sealing, drop testing, and functional verification aligned with clinical environment standards.
Precision Assembly: Robust assemblies engineered to meet stringent performance and medical durability requirements.
This approach allowed the device to balance miniaturisation with functionality, ensuring it could withstand daily use in hospitals while delivering real-time clinical accuracy.
FVG delivered prototype units for clinical trials, with precision-built assemblies that achieved IPX67 durability and full functional validation. The device marked a pioneering step in Nasogastric (NG) tube guidance using ultrasound technology, positioning it strongly for regulatory approval and future market introduction.
