We’ve forged relationships with many successful medical device companies both small and large. At CDT, we understand the products you want and can employ the processes you need to he successful.

 

Project Scope:

 

CardioVascular BioTherapeutics has an idea concept for a new non-invasive targeted drug delivery catheter for the cardiovascular market. CDT conducted a workshop yielding 4 specific designs of potential drug delivery catheters. From the workshop presentation, CardioVascular BioTherapeutics has selected two of the designs to be fabricated as first iteration prototypes. Specifically, CardioVascular BioTherapeutics is requesting CDT to design, develop and fabricate prototypes for the “Drug Delivery Catheter w/Braided Anchor” and “Drug Delivery Catheter w/o Anchoring System” designs.

 

The project initiation will be as follows:

 

1. CDT will work concurrently with CardioVascular BioTherapeutics to finalize the catheters designs.

 

2. CDT will work concurrently with CardioVascular BioTherapeutics to create individual component engineering drawings.

 

3. CDT will procure the following tooling and materials;

 

  Proximal Shaft: One 3-Lumen, 8F PU extrusion (higher durometer)
  Distal Shall: One 3-Lumen, 8F PU extrusion (lower durometer)
  Fusing Dies and Fusing Jaws
  Distal Marker Bands
  Inner Shaft: One Single Lumen Extrusion

  50 27 Gauge Needles
  20 Braided Stents
  Mold for over-molding: inner Shaft/Needle/Braided Stunt
  Deflection Wires
  Assembly Mandrels
  Machined handle components

 

4. CDT will develop preliminary processes to fabricate the catheters.

 

5. CDT will ship a minimum of 3 of each catheter design (6 total) to CardioVascular BioTherapeutics for evaluation.

 

6. CardioVascular BioTherapeutics will provide feedback to CDT.

 

7. Based on results of the first iteration of prototypes, CardioVascular BioTherapeutics will either request changes to the mutually agreed to design using the same materials and/or with making minor modification to the tooling and CDT will fabricate a minimum of 3 additional of each catheter design (6 total) for a second iteration of prototypes. AND/OR

 

8. CDT will deliver a minimum of 10 of one of the two designs based on the approval by to CardioVascular BioTherapeutics.

 

Key Assumptions:

 

The catheters will fall under CDT’s Phase 0 design controls.

 

The catheters are considered to be non-qualified and are not acceptable for human use or regulatory submission.

 

This quotation was formulated using a non-braided reinforced extrusion for the catheter shaft.

 

Given the current conceptual design, the prototype iterations may very slightly from the workshop drawings as unique specifications are defined.

 

CDT will perform functional integrity testing to ensure non-statistical reliability.

 

CardioVascular BioTherapeutics owns any tooling, molds and/or materials purchased per this contract. CDT will ship any remaining inventory of materials purchased by CardioVascular BioTherapeutics provided there are no outstanding account receivables.

 

In the event of cancellation, CardioVascular BioTherapeutics shall be obligated to pay CDT for services performed, or for any outstanding periodic payments due and the cost of materials, which CDT has committed, to purchase that cannot be cancelled or cancelled without penalty. The deposit set forth in this contract shall be first used to satisfy these amounts with any balance returned to CardioVascular BioTherapeutics.

 

If CardioVascular BioTherapeutics provides CDT with its shipping carrier’s account number and preferred method of shipment, CDT will not hill CardioVascular BioTherapeutics for shipping and CDT’s standard 15% handling charge.

 

CardioVascular BioTherapeutics will be open to negotiating mutually agreeable materials and design selections.

 

CardioVascular BioTherapeutics will respond to CDT in a timely manner to prevent any delays in the project schedule,

 

CDT will ship the product bulk non-sterile.

 

CDT understands that Jack Jacobs will act as a point of contact for project questions and information delivery.
