design and engineering features, including innovative use of
materials, user-related functions that improve healthcare delivery
and change traditional medical attitudes or practices, features
that provide enhanced benefits to the patient, and the ability of
the product development team to overcome design and engineering
challenges so that the product meets its clinical objectives. A
comprehensive review of the entries was performed by an impartial,
multidisciplinary panel of third-party jurors with expertise in
biomedical engineering, human factors, industrial design, medicine
and diagnostics. "We're extremely gratified to be one of only a
handful of diagnostic device manufacturers to be recognized by this
award," says Audie Hickey, Project Manager for the Piccolo
xpress(TM) development project. "This not only validates the many
design choices we made over the course of the development project,
but this award also shows that with the new xpress system the
Abaxis platforms will remain distinguished by their advanced
design, performance and ease-of-use for routine blood testing. Our
customer feedback has been positive on the new platform, as they
appreciate the added features and capabilities of the new xpress,
which has become an important laboratory tool for their practice."
