Inhaltsangabe

A medical device passes through many hands — designed by engineers, cleared by regulators, chosen by physicians, and used minute by minute by nurses — and its safety lives in the seams between those roles. Applied Medical Device Safety: A Comprehensive Guide is the rare book written for all of them at once, tracing a device's full life from design to disposal while teaching the working discipline that keeps patients safe at every stage.
Part narrative and part training manual, the book builds from first principles: what a device is and how it is classified, the regulatory landscape it lives within, and the ISO 14971 risk-management process carried out end to end. From there it moves through the safety work of development — quality systems (ISO 13485), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), materials, and clinical evaluation — and into the market, where safety becomes a matter of maintenance, training, vigilance, and the structured investigations that follow an adverse event.
At its operational heart is the Safety Specialist's Task Manual: step-by-step procedures for the tasks the role actually performs — writing and processing a case safety report, assessing causality, preparing aggregate reports and the PSUR, running a risk assessment, and constructing a defensible benefit–risk analysis — each with a working template, a fully solved example, and a self-check. Real device failures are then examined directly, and ready-to-adapt templates and interactive tools turn the methods into working aids.
Whether you are a nurse or physician moving into device safety, an engineer who must defend a design in the regulatory file, or a professional who wants to become a medical device safety specialist, this is a single volume that explains the field and shows you how to do its work.
