And Control

Governments all over the world are paying great attention to economic innovation and the development of design in modern society. They are spending more and more recourses on making rules for Industrial Design Policy and measuring its implementation. As a method to make macroeconomic regulation and control by the government, the effectiveness and importance of design policy has already been widely admitted. In a macro-background of the three turns of Chinese design policy, taking the design policy of Guangdong province as an example, this article will analyze how local/regional government should respond to the national design policy. Based on the investigation and analysis of the winners of the "Guangdong Governor Cup Industrial Design Competition", this paper discusses how industrial design competition as a part of the design policy to support the development of industrial design. After making a comparison with the design policy of the Yangtze River Delta area, this article tries to enhance and perfect the current policy path.

Abstract Lubricious polymer coatings are increasingly used on intravascular devices to facilitate easier access and navigation through tortuous blood vessels. Recent reports highlight the separation and downstream embolism of polymer particles affecting the vasculature and various organs. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acknowledges polymer coating embolism as an iatrogenic complication of intravascular devices and continues to close gaps in standards related to coating integrity. The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation established particulate testing as an industry standard for evaluating coating integrity of intravascular devices. The FDA recognizes this standard; however, challenges exist in setting particulate limits that may compromise device function without sufficient clinical data. The microscopic nature of polymer emboli not visible with available imaging modalities has impacted reporting. This has also resulted in a reduced number of manufacturer-driven product development projects related to coating integrity. On the other hand, recent procedural trends have supported the innovation of coated devices with expanded indications, requiring particulate evaluations and release limits. This article proposes a methodology to set particulate limits for intravascular devices given existing clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing challenges. The approach with standardization requirements enables characterization, comparison, and evaluation of lubricious coatings from various manufacturers. It incorporates a step-by-step procedure that adds scrutiny to the application of coatings while ensuring device function is not impacted. Together with particulate assessments, clinicopathologic and animal studies permit an understanding of particulate ranges from commercially available devices and setting of particulate limits for new device evaluations.
