Standardized testing of a new manufacturing method for electrophysiology catheters

Important results from the project

The purpose of the project was to internally validate that our products fulfills or exceeds existing/competing solutions within standardized testing. The testing has been successfully realized, and testing of both pass/fail and characterizing nature have been performed. The project has been compiled in a test report that we can use as base for our communication towards current and new customers as part of our marketing activities. Furthermore, we have also laid the base for continued, more advanced testing and further development of our technology for a future regulatory filing.

Expected long term effects

The expected results were to verify performance and identify possible improvements by utilizing the test protocol. Furthermore, for the company to use the results in upcoming activities and technical documentation. The results were completely in agreement with the expectations, as we have both verified good performance in most of the tests, as well as identified the improvements to be made. The results are compiled and will lay the base for future development. These will also be included in communication to CathPrint´s customers in the near future.

Approach and implementation

Overall, the arrangement and implementation has been perfomed according to the project plan, however with a couple of deviations. - Some delay at our component supplier led to the project needed to be prolonged, as we did not have access to all material on time. - More internal time than planned was put into preparation of testing and knowledge transfer from the resource, hence budget overrun for personnel costs. The implementation of all activities have been done successfully. Furthermore, the test protocol has been extensive, well structured and with clear intents (P/F and character).
