A medical device is an instrument, apparatus, implant, in vitro reagent, or similar or related article that is used to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease or other conditions, and does not achieve its purposes through chemical action within or on the body (which would make it a drug). Whereas medicinal products (also called pharmaceuticals) achieve their principal action by pharmacological, metabolic or immunological means, medical devices act by other means like physical, mechanical, or thermal means.
Medical devices vary greatly in complexity and application. Examples range from simple devices such as tongue depressors, medical thermometers, and disposable gloves to advanced devices such as computers which assist in the conduct of medical testing, implants, and prostheses. The design of medical devices constitutes a major segment of the field of biomedical engineering.
The global medical device market reached roughly $209 billion in 2006.
A device is usually a constructed tool, but may refer more specifically to:

The healthcare industry is a hot bed of innovation. A convergence of new technologies, connectivity, big data and analytic models are creating a multitude of opportunities to improve health outcomes and reinvent platforms for device and service businesses. Working in a regulated industry requires special considerations that can prove challenging for the uninitiated. From concept generation to launch, this session, led by Aidan Petrie, Chief Innovation Officer of Ximedica, will provide an overview of six essential components of successful product development specific to the development of medical devices and healthcare products. We will start with a discussion around the regulatory considerations that drive many of the activities surrounding each of the development phases and then cov...
(Part 1 of 3) General overview of medical device regulation.
http://sterlingmedicaldevices.com How can medical device startups avoid costly mistakes when navigating the FDA submission process to successfully bring their idea to market? Startups are the lifeblood of medical device innovation. Without universities researching ways to solve pressing healthcare problems or doctors with experience in a particular field who have an idea to develop a prototype medical device that could help patients, the future technologies needed to help save lives wouldn't happen. But the long, arduous road through the FDA submission process to get market approval can take a long time and cost a lot of money without help. Sterling Medical Devices has been helping startups through the FDA approval process since 1998 without ever having a submission rejected. Here are th...
Most medical device inventions start out as a single great idea, but how does that idea become a marketed medical device? This video provides a brief overview of how a medical device, which can range from a contact lens to a knee implant to an MRI machine, begins with an idea and ends with its submission to FDA. The video highlights aspects of the Investigational Device Exemption (or IDE) process, and provides general information on medical device clinical trials. The audience is device manufacturers and health care professionals. Presenter: Chrissy Cochran, PhD Toxicologist, FDA [vpmedicaldevices]
The medical device industry is overshadowed by huge companies which both stifle innovation and drain available resources. In the field of retinal imaging, there are just a handful of companies with revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars but they make large and expensive devices that are inappropriate for the developing world. Dr Craig Robertson and his company, Epipole, make smart intelligent devices that address specific illnesses using robust, high quality but relatively inexpensive hardware and very intelligent cloud-based storage and computing. In his talk, Craig will look at what disruption means in the medical device industry. He’ll explore how we can make devices that fulfil the needs of the many, not the few, and make them at a price that allows for ethical trading. Dr. C...
Europe is the world's second-largest medical device market with 500 million people. It is made up of 28 member states (and growing) and has 20+ languages. Fortunately there is one approval process for medical devices. In this seven part slidecast we will demystify the process of bringing your device to market in the EU, breaking it down into understandable steps and explaining each one. Once you begin the series you may skip to the next section at any time using the Playlist in the player window. Information current as of October 2014. In this SlideCast: Overview of the CE Marking framework [4:40]
On 26 September 2012, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on medical devices and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices. These regulations, once adopted, will replace the existing three medical devices directives (MDD, AIMD, IVD). The MDD and AIMD will be incorporated into one single regulation, the MDR. For current IVD directive, the new regulation will be the IVDR. The new Medical Device Regulation affected all kinds of medical devices, from home-use items like sticking plasters and contact lenses, to X-ray machines, pacemakers, breast implants and hip replacements. The new rules aim to ensure that patients, consumers and healthcare professionals can reap the benefits of safe, effective and innovative medical devi...

The latest demoreel from Invivo Communications. We know science is complicated. That’s why we have brought together an exceptional team of visionaries, designers and certified medical illustrators who are skilled at the art of bringing imagination to life. Our original, medically accurate creations can help you simplify and clarify, capture your audience’s imagination, travel inside a heart, demonstrate a new medical device that’s not even built…well, you get the picture.
For the launch of their groundbreaking surgical device this past month, Restore Medical Solutions asked us to create a 3D animated video of their patented interchangeable surgical trays in action. We wanted to showcase the variations of movement and combinations that this revolutionary invention is capable of.This project was produced in conjunction with the launch of their site by the gurus of web design at RocketFuel LLC.
