Described are methods and systems for testing lumens of cannulated delivery components or assemblies thereof that may be used to deliver cells to a patient. Test cells are contacted with walls of the lumens and/or liquids that contact walls of the lumens, potentially over an incubation period. The test cells are then assessed for an effect of the wall contact, or the liquid contact, on at least one and preferably multiple characteristics of the test cells such as innate immune response, metabolic activity, viability, cytotoxic response, and/or motility. Methods and systems as described can be used in the development and/or manufacture of cannulated delivery devices, for example providing specifications for design or process inputs or outputs, design or process validations, and/or device lot approvals. Also described are devices or products produced in accordance with such methods and systems.
