To date, the consortium has supported 94 pediatric medical devices and helped five companies receive FDA or CE mark regulatory clearance.ĪMB Surgical, LLC, Dayton, Ohio – FLYTE, a device designed to reduce invasive and repetitive surgery in children and teens with orthopedic illnesses such as scoliosis and limb abnormalitiesĪuctus Surgical, Inc., San Francisco, Calif. All winning innovators receive mentorship and support through NCC-PDI’s network of experts, consisting of medtech executives, investors, specialty pediatricians and FDA regulatory and business consultants. With a goal of advancing the development of pediatric medical devices, this was NCC-PDI’s eighth competition in six years. “This marks the beginning of our relationship as we prepare to wrap our network around nView to accelerate the process of bringing nView s1 to market and advancing care in pediatric orthopedics and spine.” “We’re proud to name nView medical one of our 2019 pitch competition winners and welcome them to NCC-PDI’s portfolio of companies,” says Kolaleh Eskandanian, Ph.D., MBA, PMP, vice president and chief innovation officer at Children’s National and principal investigator of NCC-PDI. The consortium recently added new accelerators BioHealth Innovation and MedTech Innovator and design firm partner, Smithwise. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. NCC-PDI is led by the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Health System and the A. Thanks to this grant we will be able to strengthen our medical research in this field and together with NCC-PDI and MedTech Innovator we look forward to fulfill our mission to make surgery safer, faster and consistently accurate.”Īwarding a total of $250,000 in grant funding to the winners, NCC-PDI is one of five FDA Pediatric Device Consortia grant programs that support the development and commercialization of pediatric medical devices. “Winning this competition further validates our pivot to pediatrics. Given the low-dose performance of our imaging system, we decided to address pediatrics ahead of the adult market.” said Cristian Atria, Founder and CEO of nView medical. Existing 3D technologies often require an additional CT-scan, which can harm our children. “As soon as we started talking to pediatric surgeons about their use of imaging in the OR we realized that the segment was not well served by current technologies.
Its first product, nView s1, is a surgical scanner specifically designed for the pediatric orthopedic market (510(k) pending). The company uses AI image creation algorithms that merge prior information with real-time data gathered during surgery to reduce imaging time and to minimize x-ray radiation. NView medical develops technology to provide 3D imaging in surgery.
The competition focused exclusively on medical devices for pediatric orthopedics and spine, a sector that the FDA identified as an emerging underserved specialty lacking innovation. As one of five competition winners, nView medical also gains access to the first-of-its-kind NCC-PDI “Pediatric Device Innovator Accelerator Program” led by MedTech Innovator.
Salt Lake City, UT – Ap– nView medical, a Salt Lake City-based startup, was awarded $50,000 in grant funding during the “Make Your Medical Device Pitch for Kids!” competition, hosted by the National Capital Consortium for Pediatric Device Innovation ( NCC-PDI) on Tuesday, April 30 in College Park, Maryland.
