Item National Centre for Preclinical Evaluation of Cardiovascular Devices(SCTIMST, 2025-08-02) Umashankar, PRThe primary objective of the Center is to set up a facility for in vitro and ex vivo / in vivo evaluation of cardiovascular devices for providing design verification / test reports for regulatory submission. Procurement and commissioning of necessary test systems in different laboratories and getting necessary certification for the facilities is ongoing. Modification of the existing laboratories and animal housing rooms to enhance the testing capacity is also envisaged as part of the project. Investigators in the project includes faculty from the departments of Medical Devices Engineering, Applied Biology, Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgery, and Technology & Quality Management The center will carry out preclinical evaluation of identified devices supported by ICMR schemes from other institutes in addition to seven technologies from SCTIMST. Devices from SCTIMST includes Left Ventricular Assist Device, Automatic contrast injector, Implantable leads, Aortic stent graft, ASD occluder, Automatic External Defibrillator and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. Total cost of the project is close to ₹15 crores. The project was started in May 2025Item Centre of Excellence in Cardiovascular Minimally Invasive Devices(SCTIMST, 2025-08-02) Sujesh, SreedharanA Centre of Excellence in Cardiovascular Minimally Invasive Devices with a fund of ₹20 crores has been sanctioned in June 2024 by DBT. Ten cardiovascular devices that were identified along with the clinical team are proposed for development. High risk devices such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) device, Thoracic Aortic Stent Graft (ASG), Clot Retriever, Flow Modulator, Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) stent, Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure device, are some of the selected devices. These will be developed to the completion of proof-of-concept stage and made ready for technology transfer. The COE was conceived to further expand and utilize the skills, strengths and IPR obtained during the Technical Research Center (TR) projects. Several equipment for design, in vitro evaluation and precision prototyping are included in the program. It is supported by several faculty of BMT Wing along with clinical faculty from the Interventional Radiology, Interventional Cardiology, as well as Cardiac and Neuro Surgery.
