Designing for Home Healthcare

Products intended for home use bring special considerations for instructions and design. SoClean has created a CPAP sanitization device that fits a variety of users’ machines and homes.

SoClean requires a simple one-time setup with the user’s CPAP machine.

As demand for home healthcare continues to grow, more companies are designing products, instructions and packaging for a lay audience.

Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disorders use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at home when they sleep, which consists of a flow generator, hose and mask. It is important to sanitize the equipment as it interacts directly with the user’s respiratory system, but these parts can be difficult to keep clean.

SoClean has introduced an automated way for CPAP users to sanitize their equipment at home, and worked to make the packaging, setup and product design user-friendly.

Jess Cormier, Director of Marketing at SoClean, explains that its packaging was designed by the in-house team and the manufacturer. The cleaning unit is packaged within two corrugated boxes. One is dedicated for shipping and is a double-wall cushioned box. The inside box is a printed retail box with a full-color label on a single-wall corrugated box.

“We have specifically designed shock-absorbing foam pieces where the SoClean rests, creating a space around the product to allow for movement during the shipping process,” she says. “Within the packaging we have dedicated spaces in the foam pieces that allow the product accessories and supplies to have a custom fit. This ensures that those pieces remain in place during shipping, permitting the customer to easily identify them upon opening the package.”
