The challenges faced by medical device manufacturers in bringing safe, reliable, low overall life-cycle cost devices to market in a timely manner is increasing rapidly. The increasing complexity and software criticality of medical devices is driving the need for a proactive practice of risk prevention. However, theoretical knowledge is not enough.

The number of FDA product recalls in the U.S. has been going up for the last 10 years. The FDA receives more than 10,000 complaints per year on infusion pumps alone. Some pump manufacturers say that most problems occur when a nurse or health care worker enters the wrong data accidentally. However, FDA officials found that many deaths and injuries related to the devices were caused by product design and engineering flaws, rather than user error. The current recalls in the last 12 months is over 1000, roughly 20 recalls per week. Over 60% failures are from poor reliability and safety considerations in the device design. Often, maintenance processes are inadequate and not error free. This webinar introduces the science of maintainability where the goal is to minimize maintenance and design out maintenance errors.

Critical failure is not an option in medical devices. Therefore this webinar focuses on high reliability and equally on high patient safety. It covers best practices in eliminating designing devices cheaper, better, and faster!

Course Objectives:

The legal system, The FDA, and the European standards require the device to be safe as long as it is in use. Therefore high reliability is an obvious requirement. Besides, it is a value proposition for the business: zero warranty costs, safe customers, more loyal customers, and more sales.

The FDA reviews the results of the performance tests during pre-market approvals, and in complaint investigations. Therefore a thorough understanding of designing device for long, reliable and safe life by the entire staff is critical in efficient business strategy.
