The design of the SC+ haemodialysis system was the winner, which aims to provide an intuitive user experience, centring on a large, interactive graphical touch screen that guides users through a treatment via logical steps.

The tablet-style approach is intended to provide patients with a simple platform for managing their treatments around their lives.

John E. Milad, Chief Executive Officer of Quanta, said: “I am delighted that Quanta and the design of SC+ have been recognised by a group of industry experts through this award. Assisted by Smallfry, an industrial design consultancy, the team at Quanta has worked tirelessly to hone our innovative personal haemodialysis system, SC+. We are proud of our patient - friendly, easy to use system that can support patients across the continuum of care, from the clinic to the home. This award is testament to all their hard work and efforts, and we would like to dedicate it to all the engineers and designers whose enthusiasm made this development possible.”
