Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface Development in the feld of medical technology has resulted in a manifold of medical devices enabling us to diagnose illnesses more reliably, treat them more effciently and compensate for handicaps more effectively. However, these improvements are also - sociated with safety risks. Today, patients are in contact with an increasing number of medical devices longer and more intensively then before. Applied parts are put into contact with the body, probes may be introduced into the body via natural or surgical orifces, and even whole devices may be implanted for many years. The application of devices is no longer restricted to medical locations only. Home use by lay people is increasing and involves even critical devices such as for dialysis, nerve and muscle stimulation and ventilation. In contrast to users’ patients are in a special situation. Their life could depend on the performance of a device, they might be unconscious, may have impaired reactions, or have been made insensitive to pain by medication, and hence they may be exposed to hazards without their awareness and protection by their own reaction. Therefore, medical devices must meet particularly stringent safety requirements. However, the question arises how safe is safe enough? The readiness to accept risks depends on a variety of accompanying circumstances. In fact, subjective risk p- ception varies among individuals and differs from country to country, and frequently only in rare cases it is in agreement with assessments of objective scientifc ana- ses.
Download or read book Medical Device written by Rommel Garcia and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant to be a guide to all who want to learn about a highly regulated industry. My approach is to give you, the reader, an example of a fictitious device, and we will take it from a conceptual idea all the way to launch and beyond. My intention is to incorporate the best experiences that I and other contributors have had into this book and convert them into laymans terms for those who are in need. These experiences can and will be indispensable to beginners and professionals alike who are trying their hand in the medical device industry and to those who have not been out of their silo to help see how each of the systems relate to each as a whole. However, it should be noted that the contents of this book should be taken only as information and is not intended to demonstrate how companies can be in compliance. In some instances, there are multiple ways to go through the maze of regulations that are documented and made by agencies because the regulations are pretty much made and designed to be flexible and high level so that companies can adopt their systems, which are solely designed for their purposes. Therefore, this book will try to avoid complicated words and complex technical details of engineering and statistics. This book will strive to be an embodiment of the honest-to-goodness, everyday experiences and issues that folks experience while working in the medical device industry.

Download or read book CE MARKING BOOK OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS written by CHETAN KATHALAY and published by CHETAN KATHALAY. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy CE marking book in India.This book gives a step-by-step approach to CE marking of electrical and electronic equipment including risk assessment. It covers, in detail, five important directives viz. low voltage directive (LVD), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directive, medical devices directive (MDD), radio equipment directive (RED) and the RoHS directive. It provides insights into product design and test methodologies especially EMC and product SAFETY so that the product meets the technical requirements of the applicable standards. It also seeks to clarify the many doubts and misconceptions about CE marking. The book begins with a chapter that introduces the reader to the nuances of the CE marking process, the conformity assessment modules and to compile supporting documents that illustrate the process. This is followed by the chapter on product safety which describes the principles of safety as found in the international IEC and European harmonized safety standards. It provides ways and means to improve product design so as to ensure reasonable compliance when a product is subject to safety evaluation by a test laboratory. Then, there are two chapters dedicated to EMC. One explains the EMC fundamentals, standards and the test methodology while the other deals with EMC design. The design chapter contains ways and means to incorporate EMC measures like line filters, shielding, grounding and cable routing at the design stage so that the product can comply with the EMC tests with a minimum of iterations. The design means discussed are very practical in nature and are given in such a way that the design engineer can immediately incorporate them without worrying too much about theory. All the directives now-a-days require a detailed risk assessment to be carried out in addition to testing as per standards. Thereafter the risk assessment needs to be documented so as to demonstrate how the risks have been reduced/eliminated. The book deals with the risk assessment in detail for all the directives under consideration. And last but not the least, the CE marking procedure is not complete unless the entire process is documented through the so-called technical file or technical documentation. The last chapter explains the compilation of technical documentation as required by the directives and the European surveillance authorities.
