CS Analytical Partners with Instron for Webinar on Functional and Mechanical Testing of Drug Delivery Devices

Leave a comment


The Webinar will be held on Tuesday, October 3rd from 4:00pm to 5:00pm EST. The key topic will focus on the increasing complexity of current regulatory expectations in the qualification process for drug delivery devices. Mechanical testing will be highlighted, which is performed to evaluate the device’s performance, inclusive of container closure integrity, dose verification, and functionality tests such as break loose and glide. Attendees can expect to leave the webinar with an understanding of:

  • General regulatory requirements and industry best practices in container / device development and qualification.
  • The role of functional and mechanical tests in product design, validation, and commercialization of such systems.
  • Differing requirements stemming from the increased complexity of drug delivery systems, such as vials, prefilled syringes, and automated drug delivery systems.
  • A review of relevant standards and guidance documents specific to mechanical testing, including USP 382 and 1207, ISO 11607 and 11608, and an array of ASTM standards, as well as the interconnections between them.
  • Strategies to reduce risk by incorporating relevant studies throughout the full lifecycle of a product-package system.

Leave a comment


ClinicMind™, the nation’s leader in multi-specialty EHR software and RCM services, announced that Plymouth Psych Group, a full-service mental health clinic serving patients of all ages, has completed its workflow management systems transition to ClinicMind.

Dr. Israel Sokeye, MD, CEO of Plymouth Psych Group, commented, “I am excited about the possibilities ClinicMind practice management solution offers us to our clinicians and administrative team. Our patients deserve the best patient care and because of that, our clinicians deserve only the best practice workflow management tools. For that reason, prior to this transition, we had been using a combination of the two systems, namely Practice Fusion as our EHR and documentation system, and ClinicMind, for its superior billing technology and unparalleled service. Over the last few years, ClinicMind has been building out new EHR and documentation solutions.and we were eager to make the transition to consolidate the two systems into one single solution that gives us the best technology and service while reducing our costs.” The ClinicMind team has been responsive and open to feedback to solve any issues arising. We look forward to ongoing collaboration and partnership to provide the best care for our patients.

“Today our team completed the migration of a mid-size Mental Health Clinic (prescribers and non-prescribers) from Practice Fusion, a top multi-specialty EHR to our product,” said Dr. Roy Lirov, MD, Chief Medical Officer at ClinicMind. “This important milestone demonstrates that the EHR work being done by our amazing teams has culminated in a product that’s no longer “just good enough” to keep up, but actually out-competes a household name like Practice Fusion. And it’s seamlessly integrated into our top-rated Chiropractic product, so this is really a unique EHR in that it can truly support integrated practices better than anything else out there. It’s a fits-like-glove solution for each type of provider’s workflow in a multi-specialty practice.”

RAMPART IC Announces the Addition of Rob Williamson to Its Board of Managers

Leave a comment


Interventional cardiologists spend extended time in catheterization labs. Their occupation is exposed to the highest levels of radiation in the world.1 These physicians often face debilitating injuries resulting from the 20-30-pound lead aprons traditionally worn to reduce radiation exposure,2 with nearly half reporting some form of orthopedic injury.3 The Rampart M1128, which is designed for procedures conducted by interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, interventional neurologists, and interventional radiologists, is a fully adjustable and portable system equipped with transparent radiation-attenuating panels that have 1mm lead equivalency, creating a wide shielding area, protecting the physician and surrounding medical personnel. The powered device can easily be configured and adjusted to allow for subtle positioning to suit type of procedure and the body shape of the patient.

The Rampart system is used by several prominent US healthcare systems and prestigious university medical institutions. In addition, Rampart has signed agreements with distributors in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America providing its radiation shielding solution to serve healthcare professionals in countries around the world.

“I am pleased to join the Board of Managers at Rampart,” said Williamson. “Like many of the companies I have been involved with, Rampart has a unique value proposition that is specifically focused on an underserved population within our space. After 25 years in and around interventional labs, I have seen firsthand the impact that both radiation exposure and wearing lead can have on the body. Our healthcare providers deserve better, and Rampart is delivering. I’m honored to serve a company with such an important mission.”

Founded in 2018, Rampart is a leading innovator of radiation attenuating medical devices for physicians and staff who perform interventional procedures using fluoroscopic and other medical imaging equipment. Designed to protect the entire team during procedures, Rampart’s products allow teams to operate without having to wear heavy lead aprons and other garments that have been known to cause debilitating musculoskeletal and orthopedic issues for operators. The company’s flagship product, the M1128, is used in cath labs worldwide.

“The Rampart team is excited and honored to have Rob join our Board of Managers and leadership team,” said Rampart President and CEO Tom Livingston. “Rob brings a wealth of commercial experience and business leadership skills that will be tremendous in supporting Rampart’s growth.”

September is National Head Lice Prevention Month and a Reminder to Send the Children Back to School Free of Lice and Nits!

Leave a comment


Mumcuoglu, et al. reported: “Diagnosis of louse infestation using a louse comb is four times more efficient than direct visual examination and twice as fast. The direct visual examination technique underestimates active infestation and detects past, non-active infestations.” Moreover, the FDA acknowledges combing not only as a stand on its own treatment method, but also as the safe alternative to the toxic risks of chemical/pesticidal treatments. This is important progress for FDA which approved pesticides for treating lice losing sight of the fact that it’s not about treating lice but about treating children who are infested with them.

The NPA offers even more clarification for parents with its 12 important tips to avoid misleading information. It’s called the Deceptive Dozen. Everyone needs to be aware of misinformation on this subject and there’s a lot of it. https://www.headlice.org/comb/what-are-head-lice-and-nits/the-deceptive-dozen/

There’s never a need to miss a minute of school when parents check ahead and identify and remove head lice and nits early, when there are less of them. The fewer children arriving to school with head lice, the fewer children giving them to others. “Because it’s not about lice, it’s about kids.”

The National Pediculosis Association®, Inc. (NPA) www.headlice.org is a 501 c 3 non-profit volunteer organization, including scientific advisors dedicated to protecting children and their environment from the misuse and abuse of prescription and over-the-counter pesticide treatments for lice and scabies. Proceeds from the LiceMeister® comb allow the NPA to be self-sustaining, independent of industry and accomplish its mission.
