Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan EARASER, alat pembersih telinga vakum portabel yang ergonomis, aman, dan dapat diisi ulang, menggunakan metode Quality Function Deployement (QFD). Hasil analisis menunjukkan semua karakteristik teknik penting, dengan prioritas pada berat produk dan kapasitas penampung. Tingkat kesulitannya bervariasi dari cukup mudah hingga sulit. Massa produk termasuk kategori cukup mudah direalisasikan, sedangkan temperatur produk, daya listrik, volume penampung, kemudahan penggunaan baterai, tekanan daya hisap, serta tingkat kebisingan tergolong lebih sulit dikembangkan. Dari sisi kepentingan, hampir seluruh karakteristik teknik dinilai memiliki pengaruh yang penting oleh konsumen, meskipun efisiensi energi memiliki tingkat kepentingan relatif lebih rendah dari karakteristik teknik yang lain. Massa produk dan volume penampung menjadi fokus utama karena memberikan pengaruh terbesar terhadap kepuasan pengguna. Sementara itu, estimasi biaya menunjukkan seluruh karakteristik berada pada kategori biaya rendah hingga sedang. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa produk EARASER berpotensi dikembangkan secara optimal tanpa memerlukan biaya terlalu tinggi, sehingga tetap ekonomis dan kompetitif di pasaran. Dengan demikian, EARASER diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kenyamanan serta keamanan dalam penggunaan sehari-hari secara efektif dan efisien bagi berbagai kalangan pengguna potensial di masa mendatang serta mendukung inovasi produk kesehatan dan praktis. Sekaligus menjadi solusi inovatif dalam industri alat kesehatan.
This research focuses on developing EARASER, a portable, ergonomic, safe, and rechargeable vacuum ear cleaner using the QFD approach. The matrix analysis shows that all technical attributes are considered important, with primary emphasis on the device’s weight and reservoir capacity.Based on the data processing results, the level of difficulty of the technical characteristics ranges from relatively easy to difficult. Product mass is considered relatively easy to implement, while characteristics such as product temperature, electrical power, container volume, battery usability, suction pressure, and noise level are more challenging to develop. In terms of importance, almost all technical characteristics are considered important by consumers, although energy efficiency has a relatively lower level of importance. Product mass and container volume become the main focus as they have the greatest impact on user satisfaction. Meanwhile, cost estimation shows that all technical characteristics fall within low to moderate cost categories. This indicates that the EARASER product has strong potential to be developed optimally without requiring high investment costs, making it economical and competitive in the market. Therefore, EARASER is expected to improve comfort and safety in daily use effectively and efficiently for a wide range of potential users, while also supporting innovation in practical health-related products. While simultaneously serving as an innovative solution in a more modern, sustainable medical device.
