Regulatory Science Tools Catalog

Cardiovascualar
This regulatory science tool is a lab method tool used for simulating target clinical use patient conditions on the bench using a mock circulatory loop in conjunction with the ISO 14708-5 standard specifications for circulatory support devices.
Cardiovascualar
This regulatory science tool is a lab method in the form of a physical mock circulation loop (MCL) used for simulating peripheral radial pressure waveforms.
Cardiovascualar
The 3D human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) Tool, 3D hiPSC-CM CCM Tool, is a laboratory method that includes detailed characterization and protocols for evaluating contractile response in healthy 3D hiPSC-CM models. The core elements of this tool include the ability to perform in vitro CCM contractility assays, including contraction force and kinetics, in 3D hiPSC models for various known and unknown electrophysiology pulse waveform parameters and combinations.
Cardiovascualar
This RST outlines a strategy for estimating the presence of cyclic phase transformation to aid in the determination of appropriate load levels for Fatigue to Fracture testing of nitinol components. Specifically, it includes a flowchart (Figure 1 in Appendix) to estimate the low to high cycle fatigue transition using either computational or experimental methods. Based on the output of the analysis, the user can create a test plan for fatigue testing per ASTM F3211 which includes both expected low cycle fatigue fractures and runouts.
Infection Control
A tool which may be used for measuring aerosol emission from water-based heater cooler devices with product codes DWC or DWJ.
InterOp
A method to estimate device-specific noise from ECG records for algorithm testing
Cardiovascualar
A tool to assist with evaluating and quantifying contractile response of non-excitatory electrical stimulation signals including CCM in vitro using 2D human cardiomyocyte models
Cardiovascualar
This tool provides a step-by-step protocol to design a recirculating flow loop test system and perform in vitro thrombogenicity testing of catheter-like blood-contacting medical devices and materials using blood from several animal species. The protocol also provides details about different markers for thrombogenicity testing.
Cardiovascualar
A simple and compliant fluid reservoir appropriate for in-vitro blood trauma testing.
