The malpractice is a social issue. In this research, to propose the equipment that supported the medical treatment person's vein injection by showing the position of the injection, the design process was applied. The concept of the equipment became clear by the concept design sketch. Next, an infrared sensor and a printer device was selected by using the design sketch. A 45 mm in the radius arc shape was decided from the analysis of the shape of the equipment and the relation of the patient- system relation by prototyping. As a result of the an ergonomic analysis on the equipment operation, we could decide its shape inclining about 30 mm of the rear side of the equipment by 15 deg. It is thought that the maintenance of the quality of medical care can be achieved with vein injection support equipment. In addition, the application development of the equipment can be expected of management and the medical education of the medicine with the proposed equipment. On the other hand, it is thought that it leads to the presentation of an appropriate solution when medical equipment is developed by executing the design that considers the form.
Research on Design Development of New Prefilled Syringe Reviewed

　More details

Improvement of the quality of medical care is strongly required. Decreasing malpractice in medical treatment is quite important theme. Especially in the developing countries, numbers of people have been in the danger of accidental injection or sharing of needle, due to the poor design of conventional syringes. Proposing a new design of the syringe must be very important for better quality of medical care in such developing countries. By applying design methodology, the authors have experienced aware some breakthrough and achieved a novel design of the new syringe, that was safer than conventional syringes, and could be manufactured in lower costs than conventional ones. In concrete, the authors conceived of the idea of a novel syringe whose main material is paper sheet. The authors actualized safety mechanism by folding paper base, packaging design for prevention of reuse and a graphic design for easy-to-understand usage. In this paper, the author presents the design of this novel syringe, as well as the design process of the syringe.
