Regulatory Science Tools Catalog

MID
The Virtual Imaging Clinical Trials for Regulatory Evaluation (VICTRE) computer modeling pipeline is a set of tools that allow for the replication of clinical trials of in silico breast radiographic images for the evaluation of digital mammography (DM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) devices.
HDI
A performance-based method requiring controlled grasping, transport, and release of objects that can be used to evaluate upper limb functional ability.
MID
The Virtual Family provides detailed three-dimensional computational models of the human anatomy including an adult male, an adult female, and two children
MXR
This tool allows for the creation of immersive 3D scenes using a web browser. WebXR allows for an instant deployment of any 3D scene and scripts and does not need to cater to a specific 3D engine or headset hardware
CM&S Program Image
A series of benchmark problems with known exact solutions that can be used to verify if tissue-level (e.g., ventricular, atrial) computational models of cardiac electrophysiology have been implemented correctly
Infection Control
A tool which may be used for measuring aerosol emission from water-based heater cooler devices with product codes DWC or DWJ.
AI ML
Tools that quantify wait-time-saving benefits for cases with positive diagnoses due to the adoption of Computer-Aided Triage and Notification devices in a radiology workflow
CM&S Program Image
This study demonstrates the application of gold-standard method of manufactured solutions (MMS) code verification to verify a commercial finite element code for elastostatic solid mechanics analyses relevant to medical devices. The Python/SymPy code used to generate source terms is available as supplemental material.
InterOp
A computational modeling tool that provides first-pass estimation of the thermal effect produced in the vaginal wall by vaginal therapy devices.
Cardiovascualar
Parsimonious (reduced complexity) model and software of the rabbit action potential amenable to large scale simulations of arrhythmias
MID
Tool for assessing image quality of advanced nonlinear CT image reconstruction and denoising products, including but not limited to statistical iterative, model-based iterative, and deep learning-based methods
Orthopaedics
Recommended best practices for executing in vitro human cadaver fatigue loading and multidirectional flexibility assessment of lumbar integrated fixation device constructs.
MID
MC-GPU is a Monte Carlo simulation code that can generate synthetic radiographic images and computed tomography (CT) scans of realistic models of the human anatomy using fast Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards.
Materials Program Image
This tool provides protocols for conducting preclinical tests recommended in the FDA Guidance for tissue containment systems used during power morcellation procedures.
MID
A method to assess texture reproduction of camera-phone-based medical devices with a dead leaves target
Materials Program Image
A Method Using 3D Printed Surrogate G-Tubes and Newtonian Analog Fluids to Compare the Flow Rates with Commercial Diets in G-Tubes with the New ISO 80369-3 Connector
CM&S Program Image
A finite element model of the human shoulder for simulating humeral abduction and calculating outputs such as contact force, contact pressure, contact area, stress, and strain.
Cardiovascualar
An approach for optimal experimental design and estimability analysis for mechanistic models of cardiac electrophysiology to determine their ‘identifiability’
