Cubbison Success
The printed electronics engineering team at Cubbison met a
strict deadline and achieved design and manufacturing success with
a membrane switch for WELkins LLC--- Roseville,
CA.
WElkins LLC received FDA approval for their EMT/ICU Temperature
Management System in August, 2012-a major milestone for any
company, and one made even more rewarding by the relative rapidity
of approval, less than 90 days after the company's submission to
FDA. According to Maurice Jordan, Welkin's Director of
Quality & Manufacturing, "Getting FDA approval in a
90-day time frame is very tough not to mention time consuming.
Thank you very much for your support and belief in us as a
company."
Cubbison's membrane switch is the HMI interface on the control
panel of a portable, noninvasive cooling device, known as the EMT
System, developed by WElkins LLC. The EMT System is a
lightweight, rugged cooling system that enables therapeutic
hypothermia in the field, at the point of injury. Mild hypothermia
is a potent neuroprotectant and its use in the pre-hospital setting
can be crucial to patient survival and recovery.
WElkins' cooling technology is the product of over five decades'
research and development by Bill Elkins, a father of the modern
spacesuit and designer of microenvironment cooling garments to help
NASA astronauts survive in space. In 2004, Welkins LLC was
formed to expand Elkins' research in liquid cooling technology for
medical, military, industrial and athletic applications.
Cubbison's relationship with WElkin's started about 2 years ago
when our design team, headed by Yvonne Smith, began developing
their membrane switch. Hours were spent engineering WElkin's
unique design. Cubbison worked closely with the WElkin's team
to ensure everything was on track to meet their deadline.
Most membrane switch manufacturing companies want exact drawings
from the customer and they quote the project as is, offering little
to no assistance in the area of design. At Cubbison, we think
design assistance is our niche. We take the time to research
each project and our electronic engineers work together to offer
the best design solution and finished product.
Cubbison Company is excited about collaborative relationship
with WElkins LLC and is honored to work with such an innovative
company!
