Two men, Nick and Joris, are seated at a table, engaged in a discussion. Both are wearing checkered shirts and have coffee mugs with their names on them. The background features a whiteboard with faint blue writing. The text overlay reads "Imaging for Targeted Drug Delivery" in bold, purple and black letters. The setting resembles a laboratory or office environment.

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.

Close-up of a printed circuit board (PCB) with multiple connectors, sensors, and electronic components. The board has a purple solder mask with various capacitors, resistors, and ICs mounted. Colored caps on the connectors indicate different sensor inputs, with red and white wires attached. Visible traces and test points suggest a complex design, likely for a medical or industrial application.

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This blog explores key highlights of the Chemical Analysis for Biocompatibility Assessment of Medical Devices draft guidance, focusing on its scope, testing methodologies, and recommendations for reporting. In September 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a draft guidance titled Chemical Analysis for Biocompatibility Assessment of Medical Devices.

Two professionals discussing strategies for repurposing medical devices into new market sectors, sitting at a table with mugs featuring their names (Nick and Joris) and a star logo. The background is a blurred office or laboratory setting. The overlay text reads, 'New Markets Ahead! Repurposing Medical Devices,' in bold purple and black fonts, emphasizing innovation and market expansion.

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.
