What is the main difference
between a medical device and a
common device?

Life and death


FDA: Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (21CFR) Parts 800 –
1299 for Medical Devices
• Class I, II and III: Less severe for Class I, very severe for Class III
devices.
• Some requirements:
– Premarket Notification 510(k): New devices are similar to those
already on the market. Required for Class II; not required for most
Class I devices.
– Premarket Approval (PMA): Severe requirements for new devices.
Required for almost all Class III.

8
Good manufacturing practices (GMP)
• GMP help a manufacturer better recognize, investigate and
take appropriate planned action to protect the consumer and
marketplace from exposure to any potentially harmful
ingredients or practices
• GMP consist a lot of rules and guidelines applied mainly in
pharmaceutical product industry

Conceive and realize
an engineering solution (tool or method)
to solve a scientific issue
Example
Design a circuit:
• I = 0.9-1 µA
• R = 1Ω-10MΩ

Design is a Trade-off process:
– Cost vs. quality ratio
– Standard vs. home-made components
– Decision matrix

In summary: Design is
• An iterative process: repeat the same step several times
• A Trade-off process: compromise between advantages and
disadvantages
• An Open-ended process: we can still improve the solution
• Multiple solution process: one problem may have different
viable solutions

- Test for reliability


- Teamwork coordination
- Good documentation
Scientific/Engineering logbook
A logbook is a very important tool to accompany
throughout scientific/engineering career. The logbook
serves several purposes, including, but not limited to:
– Prove your due diligence and care
– Protect you from professional liability, claims
– Record new ideas, observations, inventions, remarks
– Record the processes, data obtained
– Must be timely, thorough, sustained, and fully
detailed (detailed disclosure)
– Should show a chronology of your train of thoughts
and investigations and the people involved.

Standardization
(building standards)

67
Standards are an important part of our society,
serving as rules to measure or judge capacity,
quantity, content, extent, value and quality.
Purpose: to get people “on the same page”

How to establish a standard?
Renard Series
1. All values are regrouped into decades: 1-10; 10-100;
100-1,000; ...
2. Each decade has the same numbers of values
3. Numbers of values are determined by an
agreement: R5 has 5 values, R10 has 10 values; …
4. Method to determine those values:

73
R5 in 1-10 decade
• Values: 1 , , , , and V = 10.
I



 = 10
=>
• Values: 1 – 1.585 – 2.512 – 3.981 – 6.309 – 10
=> 10 – 15.85 – 25.12 – 39.81 – 63.09 – 100

Important points on the Design of Medical Device

1. Design specifications: incl. data to achieve, literature


review, analysis of existing devices, market study, etc.
2. Decision process of determined solution: incl. analysis
of different solutions, decision matrix, etc.
3. Design and prototype fabrication details: incl. drawings,
methods, information on standard or home-made
components, etc.
4. Prototype tests: incl. the use of statistical and standard
methods from ISO, FDA, etc. to evaluate the accuracy/
reliability/ effectiveness of the device
5. Issues to be improved in comparison with data in (1)
6. Cost of prototype/ production
7. Results from physiological and clinical tests.

Grading and schedule of your project
1. You must form the group ASAP (max 3 students/group)
2. Grading policy and due dates for the project
a. Project initial: Electric circuit for the car (by Mar. 1st): 10% of the
class grade
b. Project Midterm presentation: 1st prototype (by May 3): 10% of the
class grade
c. Project Final presentation: Final product (To be announced by TA):
10% of the class grade

Manufacturing Processes
• Making prototype
• Mass production

93
Mass production
Manufacturing company
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
ODM (Original Design Manufacturer)
OBM (Original Brand Manufacturer)

96
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
OEM is a company that mass produces for and sells devices to
another company based on the design and specifications of the
latter who is responsible for distribution. Products are marketed
under the brand name of the latter.
Example: Apple is responsible for technology research and
product selling under its name. Foxconn is an OEM company
which makes actual products.

97
Original Design Manufacturer (ODM)
ODM is a company that does R&D, designs and builds products
for another company. The latter has identified the need and the
market of the product but doesn't know how to design it or
doesn't have the manufacturing capabilities to make it. When
the actual product comes out, the latter will market it.
Difference:
- OEM makes products for a company that did R&D and market
research;
- ODM does R&D and makes products for a company that did
only market research. 98
Original Brand Manufacturer (OBM)
OBM is a company that is not involved in the design or
production process but only develop the brand. This company
buy back products made entirely by other companies and just
put their brand on it to add value to the product.

99
Kinds of company
• Spin-off or Spin-out
• Start-up
• Venture capital

Entrepreneurship in BME
A method of bringing:
- Academic medical products to the market and
- Needs from the market to academia to make a
commercially viable product.

101
Entrepreneurship Mindset

102
People have done it. Why do we need to do?

They did it. How can we do better than them?

Do what people think it’s impossible

103
We did well! Why do more?
Always happy but never satisfy

Take calculated risks

Look to the future and perform well at the present 105

Issues in Entrepreneurship Situation in Vietnam
• Engineering: Cheap labor but too expensive products => need to develop
logistics in manufacturing and production
• Policy and rules: The transfer of technology to enterprises is difficult and
the admin. mechanism is complicated => need professional legal personnel
• Business: Big competition => need people who are capable raising capital
and well manage business

=> There is a need for a seamless system so that when a commercially viable
product is created, it is mass-produced at a competitive price, meets
regulatory requirements, and is rapidly put to the market.
Summary: Entrepreneurial Journey
• Re-Design => Prototype
• Fabrication => Final Product
• Marketing => Product in user’s hands
