Medical Device Design & Engineering Since 1999
Designing medical devices can be challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the standards governing their production and use. This timeline overview of medical device design will help you become familiar with the process, including all the steps necessary to go from idea to final product in clinical and research settings. Follow along as we cover […]
The medical device industry can be confusing to many, particularly when trying to understand the life cycle of medical devices. This article introduces what the medical device life cycle means and how it affects the design of new medical devices and their marketing, production, distribution, and sale. Product life cycle phase 1: Concept The first […]
If you’re involved in the medical device industry, chances are good that you have heard of an alpha or beta prototype and what they do, but do you know the difference between these two prototypes? Medical device development companies often use different types of prototypes to test their devices. It’s essential to understand the role […]
Medical device development takes a lot of work, and one of the most important steps in the development process is prototyping. A prototype helps test the idea behind your new product or even makes it possible to create a working model of the product itself! These are just some of the many ways that prototypes […]
Medical device prototypes are essential to the manufacturing and commercializing of medical devices and tools. Prototypes exist so that manufacturers can test their products’ functionality, appearance, and other key characteristics before launching full-scale production. The actual prototyping process begins after your idea has been validated, so you have some idea of what you’ll need to […]
Two primary medical device prototyping techniques have advantages and disadvantages depending on your project’s needs. This guide will help you understand both so you can make an informed decision about which fits your needs when you’re ready to move on to the next step in your project! Benefits of Prototyping Prototyping is a critical step […]
Wireless technology has become ubiquitous in our everyday lives. From cell phones to GPS systems, it seems like there’s almost nothing you can’t do these days wirelessly. What many people don’t realize, however, is that wireless technology also offers some serious benefits to medical device development. Here are some ways wireless technology has been applied […]
Advances in Artificial Intelligence have made possible some incredible medical devices, but the question of whether these devices should be FDA approved has surfaced in the medical community. The answer depends on what kind of medical device you’re working with, so let’s take a look at how AI impacts different kinds of medical devices. What […]
We’re currently living in the most technologically-advanced era in human history. Medicine and the devices we use to stay healthy have come a long way, especially in recent decades. Some of the most significant advancements in medicine have come in the form of SaMD, or software as a medical device. What is Software as a […]
If you’re new to the world of medical devices, then you may not be aware of how important software development is to your product or service. An integral part of the design, development, and testing process, the software informs each step of the process and enhances many aspects of the finished product. Let’s take an […]
