Development and Manufacturing Transfer for Atossa

 

Executive Summary

 

Background		Atossa Genetics Inc is a privately held company focused on the development and marketing of a novel cellular and molecular diagnostic risk assessment for breast cancer. Steven C. Quay, M.D., Ph.D. Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer is a physician scientist and biotechnology entrepreneur who has founded six companies and rebranded a seventh over a 25+ year career.
		Atossa has purchased the rights to the Cytec FirstCyte Aspirator, E.Z Microcatheter, UltraSlim and tapered Dilator products previously produced by MedSource.
		Atossa would like Accellent to resurrect the Cytec FirstCyte Aspirator, E.Z Microcatheter, UltraSlim and tapered Dilator products previously produced by MedSource (and subsequently by Hologic/Cytyc in its Costa Rica facility) and begin manufacturing of these devices. To do this, Accellent will need to re-establish the supply chain and a validated manufacturing process.
Project Scope		The objective of this project is to re-introduce into manufacturing the FirstCyte Ductal Lavage system that was previously produced by MedSource in its Newton, MA facility.
		To accomplish this, Accellent proposes three project phases: Phase I: Transfer preparation
		·	Updates to design and manufacturing documents as required.
		·	Re-establish supply chain for each device.
		·	Execute Pre-DV builds and testing.
		Phase II: Design Verification
		·	Establish Master Validation Plan for the devices.
		·	Finalize design and manufacturing documentation.
		·	Execute DV builds for the devices.
		·	Execute DV testing for the devices.
		·	Complete a clinical build and provide devices to Atossa after executing Accellent’s sterile lot release process. Estimated availability of clinical devices is ~7.5-8 months after project start.
		Phase III: Validation
		·	Complete all tooling / component validation activity.
		—	Conduct PQ builds and testing.
		—	Sterilization Validation.
		—	Complete and audit the DHF and DMR.
		—	Commercial release of the devices.
		The detailed tasks to accomplish this are outlined in the Project Gantt located in Appendix V. The Key Deliverables from the activities included in this program are outlined in Appendix VI.

Key Assumptions

 

In preparing this proposal for Atossa, Accellent has made the following assumptions:

 

■		Estimates provided are based upon the released documents that were contained in MedSource’s system at the time these devices were produced in its former Newton, MA facility. Accellent cannot guarantee that its records carried over from MedSource represent the latest embodiment of the devices, especially given that the device was manufactured by Hologic/Cytyc in its Costa Rica facility after MedSource completed its production of devices. A thorough review of the device drawings and manufacturing documentation is included in the scope of this proposal. A milestone is to be established in the project for Accellent and Atossa to review and agree upon the design to be built, tested, and released into production.
■		The Design History File (DHF) for the devices is not available requiring that it must be rebuilt prior to releasing these devices into production. The scope of this project is based upon the initial DHF gap analysis that Accellent has executed. Based upon the results of that documentation assessment, it is assumed that the Accellent project team will have documents to be used as starting points. However, effort will be required as part of this project to update the documentation and to generate the official reports demonstrating compliance. Additionally, testing required to support those reports may be required and is included in the scope of this proposal.
■		It is assumed that all tooling for components is available and appropriate for production use, though re-validation may be required. If it is determined that new tooling for any component is required, the effect on cost and timing will be communicated to Atossa prior to incurring the additional cost associated with the scope change.
■		Included in the scope of this project is the transfer of the models and drawings into Accellent’s current system. The time estimated to complete this task is based upon an initial assessment of drawings sampled from the MedSource archive. When transferring documents of this type, compatibility issues could arise that may require creating drawings from scratch rather than a simple transfer. If it is determined during the transfer process that drawings need to be generated from scratch, this change will be communicated to Atossa and the effect on timing and cost will be reviewed prior to incurring the additional cost.
■		A new kit configuration consisting of 5 of each device is assumed to be required. This proposal includes the packaging design and testing required for the new shelf carton and shipper boxes required to meet this requirement.
■		Existing fixture designs available in Accellent’s archived project folders will be used as a baseline for fixture designs for this project. However, due to EH&S requirements some designs may need to be updated.
■		Maximum lead time for any given component is assumed to be 4 weeks. This will be updated when final quotes from all suppliers are received based upon the final updated drawings being released for each device.

  

 

Development and Manufacturing Transfer for Atossa

 

■		Maximum lead time for equipment and fixtures is assumed to be 4 weeks. This will be updated when final quotes from all suppliers are received based upon the final updated manufacturing procedures being released for each device.
■		One round of pre-DV testing is sufficient to achieve confidence in passing DV. If an additional round of build and testing is required, Accellent will review the effect on cost and timing with Atossa prior to executing the additional work.
■		1-year shelf life assumed.
■		Parts for Design Verification, tooling validation, OQ, PQ, and the clinical build will all be ordered concurrently.
■		Clinical devices will be built at risk following the DV build and made available to Atossa following sterile lot release process and successful completion of transit, aging, and biocompatibility testing.
■		PQ builds are set to start after successful completion of transit, aging, biocompatibility. Starting PQ at risk before test completion could reduce timeline by ~1 month.
■		Existing bar and tray sealer equipment in Laconia will be used for this project. If it is determined that dedicated equipment is required to support this line, the cost of this equipment will be quoted separately.
■		Gamma sterilization is assumed for all devices.
■		Accellent assumes Form-Fit-Function prototypes in Phase I require 50 units, which are NOT FOR HUMAN USE, and Design Verification in Phase II requires 100 units.
■		Accellent has estimated the cost of the Materials for pre-production units in our Cost Estimate Section on page 8 and has planned the timeline accordingly; any change to the number of units may affect the Materials cost and/or the project Timeline.  Estimated not included in this version of the proposal, but will be added to next revision.
■		Accellent assumes Design Validation requires 300 PQ units and human use Clinical trials performed by Atossa require 200 units; these units will be billed at the lowest volume Unit Price Estimate in our Cost Estimate Section on page 9. The material cost estimates on Page 8 includes the cost for the clinical devices in Phase II.
■		Atossa is responsible for defining product inputs and is ultimately responsible for assessing clinical efficacy; Accellent will work closely with Atossa to translate design inputs in to measurable specifications.
■		An approved supplier will perform sterilization services as an Outside Service. Accellent and Atossa will jointly review the sterilization protocol and report, which will include the results of the Sterilization Validation/Revalidation. Atossa will have final approval responsibility for all sterilization documentation and is ultimately responsible for verification and certification of product sterility. A Supply Agreement between Accellent and Atossa will define the product transfer and terms of sterile lot release.

 

 

Development and Manufacturing Transfer for Atossa

 

■		Atossa is responsible for the cost of Quarterly Dose Audits (Gamma), which include sterilization charges, transportation charges, test lab charges, product (destructive test units) costs and documentation costs.
■		Atossa is responsible for ensuring Atossa-supplied materials meet incoming inspection requirements and comply with quality requirements per the drawings.
■		The timeline estimated in this proposal is contingent on the timely receipt of documentation, drawings and approvals from Atossa; delays outside of Accellent’s direct control may affect the timeline and schedule provided.
■		Atossa will work with Accellent prior to the project start to align Accellent’s project plan with Atossa’s project plan.
■		Additional Terms & Conditions that apply to this proposal are located in Appendix I.

This is a good faith estimate based on managing projects of similar scope and complexity. If unanticipated contingencies or changes in project scope potentially cause the estimate to be exceeded, Atossa’s written authorization will be required prior to incurring expenses beyond this estimate. Travel Expenses are in addition and will be billed at cost, as incurred.

 

§		See Appendix VII for the equipment list that is assumed to be required to reestablish the production of these devices.
§		Phase II material estimate includes ~100 devices for DV and ~200 devices to be provided to Atossa for human use clinical testing.
§		Saleable PQ devices will be built in Phase III and will be billed at the lowest volume Unit Price Estimate in our Cost Estimate Section on page 9.

§		Accellent reserves the right to revise the Unit Price Estimates; the above pricing reflects Accellent’s best estimate based on the current product concept and/or Bill of Materials (BOM) received from Atossa and assumes lot purchasing for optimum supply chain management. Any changes to the BOM, component material selection or quantities per may require Accellent to re-estimate the Unit Price.
§		As design and development progress and annual volumes are established, a more accurate Unit Price Estimate can be determined. A Manufacturing Agreement will establish final Unit Price and Volume Breaks.
§		Aspirator cup and f-adaptor in MicroCatheter are assumed to be made from RX2530 Macrolon, which is what the supplier stated was used when parts were supplied to Cytyc.  MedSource prints state Lexan, which must be an old revision.
§		MicroCatheter: Sheath 110-08987-00 shall be manufactured from LDPE and not HDPE as the drawing states.

Appendix IV: Accellent Three Phase Design Control

 

Accellent has a Three Phase Design Control Procedure fully compliant with the current FDA QSR’s and ISO 9001 / ISO 13485. Each project is assigned an experienced Program Manager with direct responsibility in meeting customer expectations, project plan integrity, budget management, team member selection (Quality Assurance Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Designer, Technicians, etc.), overall coordination of activities both internal to Accellent as well as with outside suppliers and service providers.

 

Phase I and II are the concept development and design for manufacturing phases. Phase I consists of taking customer inputs and product specifications and transferring them into preliminary engineering drawings or prototypes. Phase II consists of design verification testing, Design Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA), Design Review and may include builds for clinical or animal trials.

 

Phase III consists of the transfer to manufacturing and supply chain development. Production tooling is designed and procured, critical suppliers are identified and audited, manufacturing validations are carried out (including sterilization), a process FMEA is developed, all manufacturing documentation is formally introduced, operator training is conducted and all required process validations (accelerated age, transit, bioburden, etc…) are completed. Then, final unit pricing is determined. This phase ends with an extensive design review with all parties present for approval to release product.
