Coating Integrity– Bench Testing

FDA Guidance Draft:

  • !

“The acute and chronic integrity of coating on the stent substrate should be assessed to provide reasonable assurance that the coating is able to sustain its integrity according to its design specifications. “

  • !

“The Agency requests that the sponsor qualitatively and quantitatively determine whether subjecting a DES system to expansion, deployment, and repetitive cycling modalities as experienced in the clinical setting will influence the ability of the coating to interact appropriately with the stent substrate.” Today’s Chronic Durability Assumptions:

  • !

Minimum 9 month fatigue test (30,000,000 cycles)

  • !

Worst Case 10 year pulsatile fatigue test (400,000,000 cycles)

  • !

Pulse on a 15 mm radius bend (Static Bend)

  • !

Overlapped stents (Static Bend)

Future?

  • !

repetitive cycling modalities as experienced in the clinical setting

ElectroForce 9210-12 DES SGT

Design considerations:

  • !

Consistent distension

  • !

Performance > 9110 SGT

  • !

Elevated temperature capability

  • !

Minimize opportunities for trapped particulate

  • !

Minimal flow path length

  • !

Isolated flow paths –

  • !

No metal in the filtered test section of the flow loop

  • !

Active computer control & DAQ of:

–! Diameter controlled distension –! Pressure controlled distension –! Flow & temperature –! DAQ of individual tube flow –! Capture filter status & switching –! All system limits and actuations

  • !

Integrate Laser Micrometer w/control software

  • !

Diameters: 2-14 mm

  • !

Lengths: up to 200 mm Accelerated Pulsatile Fatigue Test Frame

Uniform distension: Tube to Tube

Benefits:

  • ! Based on Proven Bose SGT

Technologies

  • !

Bose proprietary manifolds ensure each tube distends equally (#1 = #6 = #12)

  • ! Multiple Tubes (12) Lower cost/stent

capital equipment

  • !

FDA requires minimum of (1) control tube for each machine.

  • !

This gives (11) useful tubes/test

  • ! 37 C
  • ! Controlled Flow

Validation Tests

To validate LO (Light Obscuration) Methodology:

  • ! Bolus Testing per USP 788
  • ! Particle Capture
  • ! Sample versus Blank Tests

  • !

Filters can be switched based

  • n various criteria or “Triggers”.
  • !

Triggers set by the user:

  • ! Cycle count
  • ! Time
  • ! Flow rate
  • ! Total flow through filter
  • !

The system will track these and divert flow to a new filter

  • !

The user will be alerted when a filter is full

  • ! 37C Saline
  • ! 160/80 mm Hg @ 1.2 Hz for 14 days
  • ! Physiological U-tubes (very thin)
  • ! 15 mm radius
  • ! (2) Stents deployed in overlapped condition
  • ! Counting via LO (laser) inline counters
