Quest Medical in Allen, Texas, asked Fallbrook Engineering to assist with the design, material selection, and mold fabrication for a unique plastic manifold.

Fallbrook Engineering brought together an experienced team to assess the situation. These experts determined that a lipid resistant material was required to avoid extraction of modifiers in the plastic. Next, they located the only material available at the time that met the demands: Eastman Ektar.

Fallbrook Engineering rigorously pursued the country's top molders and discovered that only Courtesy Corporation of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, was willing to take on the project at a reasonable cost.

Fallbrook successfully managed the multiple cavity tooling fabrication and sample ruins within the schedule demanded by Quest.

Quest's Check Mate System is considered a medical breakthrough because it helps to minimize the spread of infectious disease and maximizes health care workers' safety.
