Design of Biomedical Devices and Systems - Hardcover

Analyzing product conception through to delivery in actual industry examples, Design of Biomedical Devices and Systems considers issues in the industrial design process exactly as they would arise in real-world applications, divulging valuable trade secrets within topics like materials selection, safety, prototyping, premarket testing and validation, liability, and learning from failure. The authors discuss product definition, development, marketing, verification, and validation; elucidate the QFD process, and address engineering licensure and codes of ethics. They also introduce new concepts in hardware and software design, including the use of computer tools to predict and document safety-related design issues.
