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.
"This book is a comprehensive overview of all the pieces that need to come together to bring a medical device from an idea to an approved device. It is an impressive compilation of information that is not easily found elsewhere, and included extensive references for every chapter. The writing is clear, yet succinct. The book is well organized with labeled subsections that let the reader find exactly what content he/she may want to explore. Each chapter has exercises that can be used as a self-assessment or to supplement a class."

"The risk management process section of this text will be very valuable to a capstone design class where teams will likely need to implement strategies to mitigate risks in the development and execution of their design projects. While risk estimation may not be feasible to attempt in an academic design course due to the limited scope and duration, this section offers the reader excellent exposure to analyses such as FMEA that are commonly used in industry."
