By applying our knowledge and experience and using objective tools, Sioux supports customers in identifying barriers on the path to a successful market launch.

Laser eye Systems

The customer’s challenge In more than 10 years of partnership Sioux supports WaveLight with software development, testing, documentation, configuration and manufacturing of IT systems for their laser eye systems. Sioux’s contribution Sioux was co-developer of a server for patient data management and treatment planning. The project also included the creation of operating system images, production (installation and configuration) and dispatch of the server including accessories, notebooks and industrial PCs (Simatic-Box). Sioux also supported the approval of the software for the eye laser systems. Result The quality of product manufacturing outsourced to Sioux was improved by partially automated and ISO 13485 certified manufacturing processes. The business risk was minimized. As production is on demand, costs could be saved in the field of stock keeping. Technology Suse Linux Enterprise Server, Windows 7 Embedded and Windows 10 and Bash-Scripting.

High Throughput Tissue Dissection

The customer’s challenge Tissue dissection is a labor-intensive and error-prone process. Pathologists mark a region of interest on slides. Skilled laboratory technicians manually scrape the tissue to put it in small tubes for further processing. Xyall accelerates this workflow with an automated high throughput tissue dissection system. Sioux’s contribution Sioux developed the entire system with the help of their mechatronics, mechanics, electronics, software and mathware engineers. Together they delivered state-of-the-art technology solutions in image registration, robotics and workflow optimization software. In addition to the development, Sioux also produced the systems in its own assembly plant. Result The Tissector HT is the world's fastest and most accurate tissue dissection system with a high throughput of 80 slides per hour with an accuracy of < 0.1 mm. Oncology laboratories can now drastically reduce their processing time, thereby shortening cancer diagnosis time and providing personalized cancer therapy.

Fetal Monitoring System

The customer’s challenge In 2005 Nemo Healthcare started to develop a method for monitoring the condition of the unborn child by means of non-invasive electrophysiological recordings. From these recordings, which are performed on the abdomen of a pregnant woman, information is obtained both on mother and fetal heart activity and on uterine activity in a non-invasive and comfortable manner. Electrophysiological monitoring provides more accurate information than existing non-invasive monitoring technologies. Moreover, it delivers unique information that other methods cannot provide. Sioux's contribution Sioux developed the Nemo Fetal Monitoring System NFMS, containing two front-end headboxes and a base station. The headbox contains sensitive analogue electronics, an ADC, a microcontroller with embedded software and a Bluetooth Low Energy chip for wireless communication to the base station. In this base station, the fetal heart rate, the mother’s heart rate, and the mother’s uterine activity are extracted from the measured signals. The base station can be connected to different CTG monitors. Sioux assembles and tests the NFMS, fully in accordance with ISO 13485. Result Nemo Healthcare moved from a proof of concept to a product that has been CE-certified in 2019. Technology Amplifiers, filtering, 16 bit ADC, Bluetooth Low Energy, Fibre optics, ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller, Altium PCB layout, C, C++, Linux Yocto, QT, Sioux SCAP platform, Assembly and test.

Medication Safety Scanner

The customer’s challenge MedEye was in need of a partner that could improve their prototype scanner and take care of the manufacturing. Sioux contribution Sioux adopted the existing design and arranged configuration management. Additional LED illumination resulted in improved imaging quality. The design of the scanner was improved to enable series production. Result The medication safety suite was introduced and rolled out at several hospitals in The Netherlands and abroad, helping the staff with automatically verifying and registering the right medication for their patients, reducing the risks of mistakes. Technology Configuration management, manufacturing engineering, optics design and image processing. As well as small series manufacturing.
