Calculators, references, components
Open to all

Standards-based calculators (V&V, biocompatibility, accelerated aging), catheter design references, and a European platform for prototyping components. Free, no sign-up, no tracking.

Our mission

Before any quote, before any contract, we want to be useful to the medtech community. Every tool here came out of a real need: an ASTM F1980 calculation to run during a meeting, an ISO 10993 matrix to put together for a design file, a French ↔ inch ↔ gauge conversion to check before a customer call.

Be useful
Contribute

We built them for our own team, and we're opening them up to the rest of the community. Advancing healthcare innovation doesn't start with signing a contract. It starts with breaking down the technical and regulatory walls every medtech engineer runs into, every day.

5 quality & regulatory tools

Calculators and references for design, V&V, and standards compliance. ASTM, ISO, ANSI/ASQ. For use across the full development cycle, from early scoping to the technical file.

ISO 16269-6 calculator
V&V sample size

Sample size determination for statistical tolerance intervals. Parametric (normal distribution) and non-parametric methods. Enter the covered proportion (P) and the confidence level (1 − α). Returns the minimum n and the associated k-factor.

ASTM F1980 calculator
Accelerated aging
ISO 10993 test selector Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility test matrix per ISO 10993-1:2018. Selection by contact category (surface, external communicating, implant) and exposure duration (A: ≤ 24 h; B: 24 h – 30 d; C: > 30 d). Returns the list of tests to run with the associated documentation.

AQL ISO 2859-1 calculator
Lot-by-lot inspection

Single sampling plans per ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (R2018) and ISO 2859-1. Select lot size, inspection level (S-1 to S-4, I to III), AQL, and plan type (normal, tightened, reduced). Returns sample size n and Ac/Re thresholds.

The first European platform to prototype your delivery system

Alongside the calculators, we've built Protobrix: a European platform where you order the components you need to assemble your prototype. Shipped from Europe in under 7 days.

Available today:

  • Universal U-handle: our dual-control handle, unique on the market. Steer a shaft with two independent controls (bidirectional steering + rotation, or two pull-wires).

  • Nose cones: ready-to-use atraumatic tips, with an overmolding option on existing shafts.
