Case Study: INVITRO achieves rapid FDA-compliant diagnostic testing with Cardinal Peak

INVITRO delivers blood test results in minutes with Cardinal Peak

The customer, INVITRO, faced the challenge of long wait times for centralized lab test results, which delayed patient treatment. They developed an innovative prototype for a rapid, on-the-spot diagnostic instrument but needed assistance to transform it into a manufacturable and FDA-cleared medical device. They engaged the vendor, Cardinal Peak, for electronic engineering and embedded software development services.

Cardinal Peak designed the device's electronics, including multiple custom boards, and developed all the embedded software on an embedded Linux system. The solution transformed the prototype into a reliable, FDA-compliant product that delivers over 50 test results from a single drop of blood in minutes instead of days. Cardinal Peak's work enabled immediate patient consultation and treatment, and the technology has since been adapted for use in food safety and water purity markets.
