A disciplined path from concept to partnership.
Our device concepts move through defined development stages. This page sets out those stages and what has — and has not — been established.
Six stages of device development.
- 01
Concept development
Defining the device principle, user interaction and the requirements it needs to meet.
- 02
Engineering and design
Mechanical design of the injection mechanism, housing and user interface.
- 03
Prototype development
Building functional prototypes to explore and refine the mechanism.
- 04
Feasibility activities
Technical evaluation of the concept against its design requirements.
- 05
Demonstration devices
Devices built to demonstrate the concept to development partners.
- 06
Development partnerships
Taking the platform forward with pharmaceutical and device partners.
Both device concepts are currently in development.

Regulatory and commercial status.
Regulatory approval
No regulatory approval or clearance is claimed for either device concept.
Certification and clinical validation
No certification or clinical validation is claimed.
Commercial availability
Neither device is commercially available. They are not offered for sale.
