“…This gasket serves to ensure a vacuum or unwanted air leaks in the chamber or test room. Gaskets can help ensure that the air being tested is the user's breath so that the test results are more accurate [5]. Gaskets can also help maintain the cleanliness and sterilization of tools by preventing contamination from the surrounding environment [6].…”

The Ge Nose C19 medical device gasket is a product from a manufacturing company in Yogya. Gaskets must be of good quality to ensure vacuum or prevent air leakage from entering the test chamber. The core problem in the production process is the quality problem of many rejects and the quantity not yet meeting the production target. The observation results show that the gasket reject problem is found in the four holes that are formed, which do not match the dimensions or are torn. Making four holes in the gasket made from neoprene rubber is done through a drilling process, which can risk tearing or damage. The type of drill bit used can affect the success of drilling gasket holes. The process of making four holes in the gasket using the piercing method is thought to be able to increase the quality and quantity of gasket products. This research aims to increase the quantity and quality of Ge Nose 19 medical device gaskets using a piercing tool. Research methods include problem identification, literature study, design, manufacture, and testing of piercing tools. The test parameters are time and product quality, namely the shape and position of the hole. The results of this research show a reduction in the cycle time of the hole-making process by 53.7%, so production capacity has increased by 51.8%. The quality of gasket production has increased; of the 40 samples tested, 0 gaskets were rejected.
