Notes:

1. Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
   • Most action items were related to the ongoing agenda items; refer to discussions below.
2. Discuss progress of tissue testing protocol evaluation.
   • Snehal tried not soaking the meniscus sample during testing. Multiple repeated tests were not fruitful as it was hard to keep the tissue hydrated in a consistent way.
   • Snehal is confident with cartilage testing. She is planning to do a cartilage tensile testing for additional repeatability assessment.
   • Ahmet advised to implement pre-conditioning data assessment as part of the protocols to continue testing. He asked Snehal to update the tissue testing protocol in this regard.
   • Snehal continued exploring different punching options. She is favoring manually preparing rectangular samples for the meniscus. She will get confined compression chambers made. She needs to design a jig for cutting the sample.
3. Discuss segmentation progress.
4. Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
   • See Ongoing Action Items above.
