He then leverages a 3D printing lab, housed in the <strong>University of Maryland School of Medicine<\/strong> (<strong>UMSOM)<\/strong>, to create the prototypes. A technology typically requires several rounds of design and printing until Smith and the inventor have a prototype that successfully proves the basic technical concepts of the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of designing and fabricating things,&#8221; Smith said. \u201cEach project I\u2019ve worked on presents a new challenge \u2014 a new puzzle to solve \u2014 which is really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor new medical device technologies, a functional prototype can be a critical resource on the path to commercialization,\u201d said Phil Robilotto, DO, MBA, associate vice president of technology transfer at UMB and director of UM Ventures, Baltimore. \u201cThe data gathered from a prototype can support intellectual property protection, advance the technology so it is easier to secure funding, and de-risk the technology, making it more appealing for investors. All of this ultimately helps move more device technologies to the market where they can improve the quality of life for patients around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one project, Smith worked with Rajabrata Sarkar, MD, PhD, the Barbara Baur Dunlap Professor of Surgery at UMSOM, to design and fabricate a prototype for an Automatic Vascular Access Device (AVAD). The device uses advanced techniques to make marking and targeting vessels easier for users. The AVAD prototype that Smith helped develop was used for key benchtop testing. Smith and Sarkar\u2019s prototyping work was initially funded by a UM Ventures, Baltimore Sprint grant awarded to help advance prototype development of this potentially important medical device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating the prototype required resources from the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umventures.org\/content\/medical-device-prototyping-lab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UM Ventures, Baltimore Medical Device Prototyping Lab<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong> and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fischellinstitute.umd.edu\/\">Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices<\/a><\/strong> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/umd.edu\"><strong>University of Maryland, College Park <\/strong>(<strong>UMCP<\/strong>)<\/a>. Smith\u2019s effort with the Fischell Institute was integral to Sarkar\u2019s recent $150,000 Maryland Innovation Initiative (MII) award, which will build on the growing patent portfolio for the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Smith\u2019s ability to rapidly make prototypes and continuously modify them shows the critical importance of having College Park and Fischell Institute engineers work on both the Baltimore and College Park campuses,\u201d Sarkar said. \u201cHis ability to meet with me each week for hands-on design modifications provided an essential link to College Park engineering expertise for my MII grant application.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSmith has been a wonderful partner who has enhanced our technology. His ease of conceptual grasp is tremendous, and he has gone above and beyond to facilitate weekend work sessions.\u201d said Bartley P. Griffith, MD, FACS, FRCS, co-founder of Breethe, and the Thomas E. and Alice Marie Hales Distinguished Professor of Transplant Surgery and director of the Cardiac and Lung Transplant Programs at UMSOM. \u201cThe prototyping has given our team confidence to take design of our medical device to the next step. We are now approaching considerations of how to build for fixed design trials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith has a natural inclination to brainstorm, test new ideas, and get hands-on with his work. Early in his career, this led him to build and run his own business focused on remanufacturing automotive electronic devices. After several years, he enrolled at UMCP, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering, a field that would allow him to continue pursuing his passion for product design and development. Since graduating from UMCP, Smith has taught computer-aided design courses at UMCP and served as a faculty specialist in the Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking with Smith has allowed us to accelerate the development of our device,\u201d said Aakash Shah, MD, a resident at the University of Maryland Medical Center. \u201cHis experience with mechanical design and insight into modes of testing have helped take our idea to an early prototype. He is a pleasure to work with and incredibly collaborative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umventures.org\/content\/medical-device-prototyping-lab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UM Ventures, Baltimore Medical Device Prototyping Lab<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>operates out of the UMSOM\u2019s Brody 3D Printing Lab, which was created to provide physicians with a cutting-edge tool for patient care. Realizing the additional potential, the UM Ventures, Baltimore team partnered with UMSOM and the Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices to use the lab to develop 3D prototypes of medical device technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith\u2019s door is always open. \u201cIf you are looking to build and test a prototype, or you are just interested in talking and learning more about what we can offer, come on down to the lab! We have access to a variety of design tools, 3D printers, computer numerical control (CNC) equipment, and fabrication tools. I\u2019m always happy to show people around or have a conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about developing a medical device at UMB, contact<strong> Ryan Smith<\/strong> at&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mailto:ryan.smith@umaryland.edu\/\">ryan.smith@umaryland.edu<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the engineer helping to develop medical device technologies in Baltimore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":14733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UM Ventures Partners with UMSOM &amp;
