Medical Device Architecture - Design for Safety

In order to design safe and efficacious medical devices, many detailed design decisions will have to be made, documented and verified. The single most effective method to achieve a high level of safety and decrease the verification and testing effort is the correct decomposition and architecture of any system. Effective architectures not only allow achieving safe devices but also minimize the lifecycle cost of the device by reducing regression testing after changes. Smart allocation of user interface functions and separation of safety functionality will allow the use of graphical user interfaces without compromising safety or complexity.

This medical device design course will help attendees gain a basic understanding of failure types, failure modes and failure rates. Based on the failure behavior, different architectural approaches like redundancy, diversity and supervisory architectures will be discussed. Special emphasis is placed on risk and risk control allocation into architectural structures and the effect on overall design and lifecycle cost will be discussed.

Upon completing this course on medical device safety design, participants will:

• Understand failure rates, modes and types
• Know methods to address different failure types
• Be able to design basic architectures to address failure (single channel, multi-channel, hot-standby, control-monitoring)
• Address user interface challenges in architecture

This course is designed for system engineers, project managers and R&D personnel tasked with developing cost effective yet safe medical devices. The following personnel will find this session valuable:

• Senior quality managers
• Compliance professionals
• Project Managers
• System architects
• Software engineers
• Design engineers
• Quality engineers
