The medical chimney device won in the ‘Product’ discipline, in the ‘Medicine/Health/Care’ category. The iF Design Award has been one of the world's most prestigious design awards since 1953.
ZiuZ Medical, since the introduction of the Inspector and Photon, has been the market leader in medical screening equipment. ZiuZ's solutions check the contents of automatically dispensed medicine bags based on a wide range of parameters such as shape, color and size. Whereas the Photon and the Inspector are used in large dispensing centers, the IRIS was specially developed for smaller (hospital) pharmacies. Spark took this into account when designing the IRIS. According to the jury, this produced an award-worthy result: “IRIS meets all the requirements for an ultra-precise medical product: high-quality materials, good branding, excellent color and surface finish and high usability. The numerous well thought-out details convinced the jury that the ZiuZ Medical - IRIS is an extraordinarily professional device for which no compromises have been made.”
