| Abstract | Thrombogenicity testing continues to be a critical requirement for regulatory approval of blood-contacting medical devices and the ISO guidelines have recently been updates [1]. This new guideline ascribes value to both in vivo and in vitro testing including both the non-anticoagulated venous implant (NAVI) model, and the new methods for in vitro testing. One challenge with the animal-blood-based in vitro assays that have been validated and used for submissions is that they still may not accurately translate to clinical safety or predict the risk for thrombogenic potential in humans. We have previously described a model using minimally heparinized ovine blood and are continuing to improve the overall methodology [2,3]. In addition, we have transferred these methods to a human blood assay which therefore has enhanced potential for prediction of clinical risk. As with the ovine model, the key characteristics of a successful in vitro method include fresh blood, low levels of anticoagulation, flow conditions and minimization of air/blood interfaces. This human model integrates freshly harvested human blood containing minimal levels of heparin with variable flow from a unidirectional peristaltic pump and unlike many of the human blood assays, it can accommodate larger devices and higher flow rates than previously described [1,4]. Control materials which were optimized in the ovine model were also used to reproducibly elicit positive and negative thrombogenic responses. We feel that this model can be used for validation of the ovine model with cross comparisons of a number of legally marketed comparator devices. Alternatively, if the human blood methodology can be streamlined and performed cost effectively on a regular and basis, this assay could supplant the current ovine model and allow a highly predictive preclinical test for thrombogenicity of devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
