Executive Summary
Becton Dickinson has signed a further development agreement with Ventura, California-based Med-Design. The agreement means that Med-Design will assist in obtaining market release of Becton Dickinson's safety IV catheter. This includes tasks in support of the FDA filing for the product, including a protocol for additional design, development, testing or manufacturing. Med-Design had earlier obtained a 510(k) clearance for a previous version of the device. This adds to the agreement which gave Becton the exclusive worldwide rights to five infusion therapy and blood collection safety devices designed by Med-Design.
