Designing Cardiovascular Devices: Begin with the Body in Mind™

Description: Provides an overview of cardiovascular anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology from a medical device perspective.  Unique Begin with the Body in Mind™ approach first tries to understand how the body is “designed” to work – then how to design a medical device to work with the body – not against it!  Multiple examples of cardiovascular devices and procedural videos are presented with a discussion of what they do well and where improvements can be made.  Suggested Length: 3 Days.

Designing Peripheral Vascular Devices: Begin with the Body in Mind™

Description: Provides an overview of peripheral vascular anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology from a medical device perspective.  Unique Begin with the Body in Mind™ approach first tries to understand how the body is “designed” to work – then how to design a medical device to work with the body – not against it!  Multiple examples of peripheral vascular devices and procedural videos are presented with a discussion of what they do well and where improvements can be made.  Suggested Length: 2 Days.

Designing Neurovascular Devices: Begin with the Body in Mind™

Description: Provides an overview of neurovascular vascular anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology from a medical device perspective.  Unique Begin with the Body in Mind™ approach first tries to understand how the body is “designed” to work – then how to design a medical device to work with the body – not against it!  Multiple examples of neurovascular devices and procedural videos are presented with a discussion of what they do well and where improvements can be made.  Suggested Length: 2 Days.

Minimally Invasive Technologies: Begin with the Body in Mind™

Description: Overview of minimally invasive technologies including minimally invasive surgery and catheter-based procedures.  Multiple examples from cardiology, gastroenterology, urology and other specialties are presented with a discussion of what they do well and where improvements can be made.  Suggested Length: 2 Days.

Combination Products: Devices, Drugs and Genes (New)

Description: Provides an overview of combination products and the benefits and challenges in combining drugs and genes with medical devices.  Basic molecular biology and biochemistry is discussed from the perspective of medical device design.  Additional testing and regulatory requirements are discussed.  Suggested Length: 2 Days.

Regulatory Affairs for Non-Regulatory Professionals (New)

Description: Overview of the regulatory requirements to bring new medical devices to the market and effective strategies in dealing with the FDA.  Major differences between medical devices, drugs and biologics will be discussed with emphasis on the emerging area of combination products.  Details of domestic vs. international approvals will all be presented.  Suggested Length: 2 Days.

Biotechnology for Medical Device Professionals (New)

Description: Provides an introduction to the biotechnology industry including important concepts in molecular biology, biochemistry and immunology from the perspective of medical device design.  Additional testing and regulatory requirements are discussed.  Major differences between medical devices, drugs and biologics will be discussed with examples from the emerging area of combination products.  Suggested Length: 2 Days.
