- 1. Medical Device Development Concept to Commercialization Jahnavi Lokre
- 2. What is a Medical Device? An instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part, or accessory which is: – recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them, – intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals, or – intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals, and which does not achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary intended purposes.” Source: US Food and Drug Administration 2
- 3. What is Innovation? 3 • New idea, device, or method • Disruptive – Creates a new product, service or process – Has significant impact on society • Incremental – Series of small improvements to existing product, service or process – Used to improve efficiency, performance, user experience or differentiation • Technology is enabling innovation in medical devices at a rapid rate – Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence – Virtual and Augmented reality – 3D printing – Internet of Things

- 6. What is Lean? • The Toyota Production System – Maximize customer value while minimizing waste – Creating more value for customers with fewer resources – A way of thinking and acting applicable to all business processes • Software Development – Agile – Scrum – Extreme programming • The Lean Startup by Eric Reis – Eliminate uncertainty – Work smarter not harder – Develop an MVP – Validated Learning 6

- 8. Ideation & Concept • Research, brainstorming • Protect your Intellectual Property • Assess opportunity, market need and size • Build your team • Identify KOL • Draft your business plan • Form your company • Secure funding 8
- 9. • Not under design controls • Show feasibility, reduce risk • Breadboard critical components and sub-systems • Use rapid prototyping • Identify critical components, processes and technology • Conduct preliminary tests • Draft regulatory strategy – World-wide coverage – FDA: IRB/IDE/510(k)/PMA/DeNovo – CE Mark • Draft reimbursement strategy Phase 0 Discovery 9 Phase 0 1-3 months
- 10. Learning #1 • Eliminate uncertainty, reduce risk • Solve the hard problems first • Iterate as many times as you need 10 Importance Difficulty Piece of cake Show stopper?? Do this later A mountain to climb
- 11. Design Controls FDA Regulation 21 CFR 820.30 • Design and Development Planning / Design Inputs – Establish project, quality, design and development plans – Document Intended Use, Product Requirements • Design Output – Define and document design • Design Review – Formal and documented reviews • Design Verification – “Did we design the device right?” • Design Validation – “Did we design the right device? ” • Design Transfer – Translation of the design into manufacturable specifications • Design Changes – Change control procedure • Design History File – Clear documentation of the entire process in a design history file or DHF 11
- 12. Design Controls Medical Devices Directive • Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42/EEC) • Medical Device Regulation – final draft published February 2017 – 3 year transition period begins when enacted – Medical Device and IVD versions • Harmonizes the laws relating to medical devices within the European Union • Design controls implemented by ISO 13485 compliant Quality System 12
- 13. Phase 0 1-3 months Phase 1 1-3 months • Establish project, quality, design and development plans • Document intended use, user needs • Define product requirements – functional, safety, performance, regulatory, test • Start risk analysis • Create industrial design concepts • Update as required – Regulatory strategy – Reimbursement strategy – Business plan Phase 1 Design Input & Planning 13
- 14. Learning #2 • Define the requirements – Don’t wait to know every small detail – Draw a line in the sand – You can make changes later if you need to • Identify and rate the hazards (severity and probability) accurately – Will impact design decisions – Will impact verification and validation activities • Look at what the “Minimum Viable Product” is – Cannot apply the same definition of MVP as we would for tech products – Need to keep in mind what impact changes would have on regulatory testing 14
- 15. Phase 0 Variable Phase 1 1-3 months Phase 2 6-18 months Phase 2 Design and Development 15 • Develop, document, build, test, iterate – Industrial design – Design descriptions, schematics, models, source code • Incremental milestones • “Talk to FDA” • Build engineering (alpha) prototypes • Test performance, functionality, usability – Pre EMC/safety tests – KOL input – Animal studies • Design for cybersecurity • Final risk analysis • Design reviews
- 16. Learning #3 • Get customer / KOL input frequently • Track requirement changes as they occur • Lock down the industrial design and UI early • Practice agile design techniques – Software development – User Interface development – Use OTS components and evaluation boards – 3D printing • Consider usability requirements • Consider design for manufacturability (DFM) • Consider target price requirements 16
- 17. Phase 0 Variable Phase 1 1-3 months Phase 2 6-18 months Phase 3 3-5 months Phase 3 Design Evaluation & Release 17 • Build controlled, traceable (beta) units • Develop test protocols and reports • Verify design – Functional, Safety, EMC, Environmental, Packaging, etc. • Validate design – Usability, Functional • Traceability matrix • Design reviews • Prepare regulatory submissions
- 18. Regulatory Testing Standards • IEC 60601 for medical devices – Frequently used collateral standards • 60601-1-2: EMC • 60601-1-6: Usability • 60601-1-8: Alarms • 60601-11: Home Use – Particular Standards • IEC 61010 for IVD • ISO 14971 for Risk Management • ISO 10993-1 for Biocompatibility • IEC 62366 for Usability • IEC 62304 for Software Development • CB Scheme for more international subtleties 18
- 19. Regulatory Submissions • USA – Clinical trials under IRB or IDE – Device clearance under 510(k) – Device approval under PMA – DeNovo • EU – CE Mark – Self certify or submit technical file based on class of device • Approval time will vary based on the type of application 19
- 20. Learning #4 • Don’t wait until now to talk to the FDA • Develop test protocols as you develop the specifications • Do informal Safety and EMC tests during design phase • Setup a pre-test review for the safety testing package before you submit 20
- 21. Phase 0 Variable Phase 1 1-3 months Phase 2 6-18 months Phase 3 3-5 months Phase 4 3-6 months Phase 4 Transfer to Manufacturing 21 • Identify manufacturing partner • Order long-lead parts • Setup pilot production build • Complete process validation • Setup post market QMS • Register with FDA • Register with Notified Body – ISO 13485 certification
- 22. Commercialization 22 • Be prepared for an FDA visit • Sales and forecasting • Warranty and service • Obsolescence • Post market surveillance – Safety & effectiveness – Cyber security • MDR & Complaints • It is time to think of the next generation!!
