What this episode covers

Bill Atterbury, a 40-year engineering veteran at Battelle, discusses his career designing medical devices, including insulin pens and auto-injectors, and the importance of process in engineering. He details his approach to brainstorming with facilitators and the evolution of design tools from punch cards to modern 3D CAD and FEA simulation using software like ANSYS. Atterbury also covers the shift toward connected health devices, such as on-body injectors for monoclonal antibodies, and the use of rapid prototyping technologies like Markforged printers for test fixtures.

    144 - Auto-Injectors, Pen Injectors, Challenges in Product Development, Sponsors and CDMO's with David DeSalvo

    David DeSalvo, Vice-President of Combination Product Development at Kindeva Drug Delivery, details his career trajectory from BD to SHL, Emergent BioSolutions, and finally Kindeva. He distinguishes between pen injectors, auto-injectors, and wearable devices, emphasizing that while connectivity is inevitable, it often adds unnecessary complexity and use errors if not carefully managed. DeSalvo discusses the challenges of transitioning between sponsor and CDMO perspectives, noting that successful partnerships require transparency rather than assuming the other side has the better view. He highlights the importance of balancing innovation with commercial viability, citing early experiences at BD where advanced technologies failed to reach the market due to cost and lack of payer demand.

    #470: The Real Cost of MedTech Innovation: From Idea to Pre-Production with Lisa Voronkova

    Lisa Voronkova, co-founder of OVA Solutions, draws on data from over 200 medical devices to outline the real costs and timelines of MedTech innovation. She details four engineering phases—Discovery, Proof of Concept, Design, and Development—and provides specific hour estimates for projects ranging from simple electronics to complex continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Voronkova emphasizes the critical importance of validating devices in real clinical environments and explains why Design for Manufacturability (DFM) requires significant additional engineering investment to avoid costly late-stage redesigns.
