‘Developing custom syringes for highly viscous formulations’

Gilead and West are developing a custom cyclic oleﬁn polymer (COP) syringe to enable delivery of viscous formulations through subcutaneous injection needles
Due to the high injection forces required, syringe stresses and failure modes had to be well understood to inform design improvements
The ﬁnal syringe design can withstand forces in excess of 500N, while remaining ISO 11040-6 compliant to facilitate ﬁll/ﬁnish activities

Walter Goodwin, Device Engineer, Device Development & Clinical Packaging Engineering, Gilead Sciences

What are connected systems of devices and why would a sponsor elect to develop a connected system
Potential beneﬁts of connected devices and the trade-offs
Usability considerations of connected devices

Katie Atkinson, Manager, Human Factors Engineering, Bigfoot Biomedical

‘Post-Market safety reporting (PMSR) for combination products – Implementation’

Summary of implemented updates to the guidance for industry
Strategies in implementation of PMSR and its application to drugs and devices
Industry response and developments - what have we seen in industry already and what is still needed?
