The Problem

MedicaSafe designed a revolutionary device to address Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This unique product features sublingual medications enclosed in tamper-evident cartridges, dispensed through a SmartKey. It logs and reports each authorized dose, ensuring that patients only take them as prescribed.
MedicaSafe recognized the importance of strategic collaboration and turned to Fathom to help develop early prototypes and provide guidance for future production goals.

The Solution

Improving Manufacturability // Fathom provided the expertise MedicaSafe needed to refine the design of its cartridge and SmartKey. Fathom streamlined this process by providing 3D-printed parts on a fast-turn basis. These additive technologies helped the MedicaSafe team check fit, finish and functionality. Next, Fathom produced tooling and injection-molded prototypes within weeks. We also helped the MedicaSafe team gather documentation to meet stringent FDA materials reporting requirements.

The Results

The MedicaSafe product has undergone rigorous verification and validation testing, specifically ISO 60601, EMC/FCC testing.
It also underwent a rigorous biocompatibility assessment, demonstrating its efficacy and meeting all necessary standards.
It is now actively deployed to address pressing unmet needs among patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
