Regulatory Science Tools Catalog

The Regulatory Science Tools Catalog provides a peer-reviewed resource for use where standards and qualified Medical Device Development Tools (MDDTs) do not yet exist. These tools do not replace FDA-recognized standards or MDDTs. This catalog collates a variety of regulatory science tools that the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH) Office of Science and Engineering Labs (OSEL) developed. If you are considering using a tool from this catalog in your marketing submissions, note that these tools have not been qualified as Medical Device Development Tools and the FDA has not evaluated the suitability of these tools within any specific context of use. You may request feedback or meetings for medical device submissions as part of the Q-Submission Program.


InterOp
This open-access longitudinal dataset contains raw inertial measurement unit (IMU) and sensorized insole data from individuals with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) synchronized to a gait walkway reference system over multiple time points.  This dataset can also be used to examine associations between gait measures, PD severity indicators, and PD progression within the study cohort.
Cardiovascualar
This RST is a database tool consisting of nine mock circulation loop (MCL)-generated datasets for characterizing three dynamic attributes of pressure-based cardiac output monitoring systems that apply an algorithm to intra-radial arterial blood pressure waveforms for cardiac output and stroke volume variation measurements.
