Earlens Selects iBASEt to support 3D printing of revolutionary hearing aid

September 9, 2016 By Abigail Esposito

Unlike conventional hearing aids, Earlens is pioneering a fundamentally new design using light and a small lens placed in the ear to create a rich, natural sound, delivering the broadest frequency range of any hearing aid on the market.

iBASEt announced that Earlens, a Silicon Valley-based medical technology company that has created a revolutionary hearing aid, will implement iBASEt’s Solumina software as its Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

Unlike conventional hearing aids, Earlens is pioneering a fundamentally new design using light and a small lens placed in the ear to create a rich, natural sound, delivering the broadest frequency range of any hearing aid on the market.

Earlens has created a breakthrough manufacturing infrastructure using 3D printing to improve design flexibility and support faster time-to-market. Solumina will be installed at the company’s corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, CA, to manage production in this innovative environment while focusing on quality control and cost efficiency.

“We are excited to work with iBASEt to put in place an innovative technology manufacturing infrastructure,” said Mark Bishop, VP of operations of Earlens. “We believe it is a smart move for us to implement an MES/QMS solution now, in the early stages of our business, so that we can rapidly scale production to meet growing demand for our product and keep pace with design changes and improvements.”

Working with iBASEt, Earlens will put in place the necessary systems to manufacture its innovative new product, improving the average completed device lead time and quality of data entry. The manufacturing system will also reduce batch file administration efforts of electronic device history records, which keep a full record of the products produced to ensure quality and compliance of 21 CFR Part 11 and Part 820 throughout the process. Solumina will also help increase product yields and provide visibility into current work order status by manufacturing supervisors and office personnel.
