J Medical Device - any instrument, apparatus, appliance, material or other article, whether used alone or in combination, including the software necessary for its proper application intended by the manufacturer to be used on human beings for the purpose of: * diagnosis, prevention , monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease, * diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of or compensation for an injury or handicap, + investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological process, * Control physiological process WHAT IS DESIGN? y Design is the creation of the products and services that people use. / Design as an action verb is: *To conceive, invent « To formulate a plan for; devise * To have as a goal or purpose; intend. intend ° ° ° B fF PB edly Sela gto aor enedeill quis dgllaal wes wesss® glsitI Jot vLamocanner 4 L392 4 Ga 4:0) 78] > Dil} THE ESSENTIALS OF DESIGN—OVERVIEW y A well product answers the following questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? The process of design typically involves such considerations, with the addition of decision points in the design process as outlined in Figure 1.1. The generic design process, the flowchart on the left-hand side, outlines the process from design task initiation (from whatever source) to task completion. y The center section outlines the process of task clarification, the search for solutions and evaluations of the same, and the generally necessary repetitions of the same until an acceptable solution is reached. On the right-hand side are listed the who/what/why/when /where/ how questions normally asked at each phase, with the addition of the go/no decision part.

Periodic design reviews are mandated to maintain schedules and to determine the validity and verification of the design. ¥ Hazard analysis should be done as a product is being developed, rather than later, when liability becomes an issue. ¥ If possible, a prototype of the device or process should be developed and used for testing purposes prior to final manufacture of a product. ¥ Design teams typically require technical skills and knowledge from a variety of disciplines; This is normally accomplished by the generation of multidisciplinary design teams. j Dependent on the particulars of a problem, the engineering team should include a required mix of electrical, mechanical, biomedical, computer, and chemical engineers. ¥/ Persons with these backgrounds, as well as with an engineering management background, might form the core of the engineering product development team. Manufacturing and industrial management engineers may or may not be included in the prototyping or concept development team but will be needed in the manufacturing part of the overall development. ° ° B F&F B measly Saletan!

Considering these.
