In this episode of Bio Break, Nick and Joris discuss the fascinating world of real-time imaging for targeted drug delivery. When delivering drugs to precise locations in the body, how do we ensure they reach the right spot? The answer lies in medical imaging technologies such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound, which play a crucial role in guiding complex drug delivery devices.
ASTM D4169 is a standard test method for performance testing of shipping containers and packaging systems. It evaluates the ability of shipping units to withstand the expected distribution environment. FDA recognizes it as a consensus standard as part of sterility testing that is commonly applied to all sorts of medical devices.
What are the most important medical device success factors during development and manufacturing? StarFish employees from QA/RA, NPI, Optics, Computational Analysis, Project Management and Manufacturing answer that question with the factors they deem most important for their area of expertise.
Getting a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for a medical device right the first time is almost impossible. Datasheets can be misleading, or assumptions and architectures change. As a result, modifications are almost inevitable. Sometimes the modification is as simple as swapping resistors or adding capacitors. Other times it involves tacking on new circuits you had no idea you needed.
This blog explores key highlights of the Chemical Analysis for Biocompatibility Assessment of Medical Devices draft guidance, focusing on its scope, testing methodologies, and recommendations for reporting. In September 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a draft guidance titled Chemical Analysis for Biocompatibility Assessment of Medical Devices.
Nick and Joris explore the fascinating world of repurposing existing medical device technologies for new market sectors. As engineers and innovators, we often focus on creating brand-new solutions, but what about leveraging tried-and-true technologies to expand into untapped markets? This strategy not only opens doors to new revenue streams but also maximizes the potential of existing innovations.
