Based on the authors practical experience, this book provides a concise, practical guide on key issues and processes in developing new medical devices to meet international regulatory requirements and standards.

Medical Devices and Regulations: Standards and Practices will shed light on the importance of regulations and standards among all stakeholders, bioengineering designers, biomaterial scientists and researchers to enable development of future medical devices.

Part One, covers the worldwide regulation of medical devices, management systems, standards for medical device manufacture, and the process of gaining approval for new medical devices. In addition, including recent changes to the regulations and standards.

In Part Two, we provide guidance on risk assessment procedures for new medical devices and safety and clinical testing based on 3 main ISO standards. Based on the latest version of those standards, we illustrate current standards and guidance documents.

In Part Three, we discuss the practices: product design overview, case studies and highlight the role of the international medical device regulator forum in the pursuit of global harmonization.
