HEARTROID PROJECT

HEARTROID® is a cardiac catheter simulator developed in collaboration with the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, and FUYO Corporation. HEARTROID® is a cardiac catheterization simulator developed in collaboration with the Department of Cardiology, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, and FUYO Corporation. The portable design allows doctors and other medical professionals to easily simulate catheter operations in any location, from full-scale training in the operating room to image training on a tabletop. The 3D printed transparent heart model allows direct observation of the catheter's movement in the heart and is compatible with other imaging modalities such as ultrasound as well as X-ray fluoroscopy. HEARTROID is also widely used in medical device development for research and development, testing, and quality control purposes, as it consists of an anatomically precise 3D model with pulsating flow.

ERCP simulator

The "ERCP Simulator" is designed based on human body data measured by medical CT and manufactured by 3D printer. The model faithfully reproduces the structure from the duodenum to the right and left hepatic ducts, and allows for simulation and training of various ERCP procedures. The model is divided into five parts: duodenum, farter papilla, common bile duct, gallbladder duct and gallbladder, and left and right hepatic ducts.

Contract Development

Dog Mergen Model

This is a simulator for endoscope training that we designed and manufactured at the request of AVS Co.
Using 3D printer technology and JMC's cultivated know-how, the model realistically reproduces the inside of internal organs, which is difficult to achieve by cutting. The model is ideal for practicing the approach to the duodenum due to its strong flexion. This model was developed to make it easy to learn the basic operations of an endoscope, and is designed to help the user learn the basic operations and understand the approach to the duodenum, which is the most difficult part of biological operations and is considered an essential part of biopsy. We aim to improve insertion techniques and animal QOL through training with this model.

Domestic and international reputation and achievements

Received Good Design Awards in the U.S. / CE Mark in Europe

Good Design Awards

HEARTROID®, a cardiac catheterization simulator, received The Good Design Awards 2020 and also received the G European safety standard "CE Mark".
GOOD DESIGN was founded in 1950 and celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. It is currently hosted by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, and has the longest history of any design award in the world, and is recognized as an internationally authoritative design award.

The CE Mark is a certification system that requires industrial and consumer products imported into and sold in the European Economic Area to obtain the CE Mark, and compliant products are those that can ensure stable quality in compliance with the European LVD (Low Voltage Directive), EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and RoHS II (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directives.
