Apply a Wide Variety of Design Processes to a Wide Category of Design Problems Design of Biomedical Devices and Systems, Third Edition continues to provide a real-world approach to the design of biomedical engineering devices and/or systems. Bringing together information on the design and initiation of design projects from several sources, this edition strongly emphasizes and further clarifies the standards of design procedure. Following the best practices for conducting and completing a design project, it outlines the various steps in the design process in a basic, flexible, and logical order. What’s New in the Third Edition: This latest edition contains a new chapter on biological engineering design, a new chapter on the FDA regulations for items other than devices such as drugs, new end-of-chapter problems, new case studies, and a chapter on product development. It adds mathematical modeling tools, and provides new information on FDA regulations and standards, as well as clinical trials and sterilization methods. Familiarizes the reader with medical devices, and their design, regulation, and use Considers safety aspects of the devices Contains an enhanced pedagogy Provides an overview of basic design issues Design of Biomedical Devices and Systems, Third Edition covers the design of biomedical engineering devices and/or systems, and is designed to support bioengineering and biomedical engineering students and novice engineers entering the medical device market.

As medical devices become even more intricate, concerns about efficacy, safety, and reliability continue to be raised. Users and patients both want the device to operate as specified, perform in a safe manner, and continue to perform over a long period of time without failure. Following in the footsteps of the bestselling second edition, Reliable D

Biomedical Engineering Design presents the design processes and practices used in academic and industry medical device design projects. The first two chapters are an overview of the design process, project management and working on technical teams. Further chapters follow the general order of a design sequence in biomedical engineering, from problem identification to validation and verification testing. The first seven chapters, or parts of them, can be used for first-year and sophomore design classes. The next six chapters are primarily for upper-level students and include in-depth discussions of detailed design, testing, standards, regulatory requirements and ethics. The last two chapters summarize the various activities that industry engineers might be involved in to commercialize a medical device. - Covers subject matter rarely addressed in other BME design texts, such as packaging design, testing in living systems and sterilization methods - Provides instructive examples of how technical, marketing, regulatory, legal, and ethical requirements inform the design process - Includes numerous examples from both industry and academic design projects that highlight different ways to navigate the stages of design as well as document and communicate design decisions - Provides comprehensive coverage of the design process, including methods for identifying unmet needs, applying Design for 'X', and incorporating standards and design controls - Discusses topics that prepare students for careers in medical device design or other related medical fields
