Learning Outcomes
Student can describe the life cycle of a biomedical device product research and development process. Student can recognize main standards and regulations concerning medical devices and can explain the main parts of the quality systems for the medical devices. Student can explain principles and tests for electrical and biological safety such as main sterilization methods and operation of clean rooms.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Most common phases of R&D project. From research to the product launch. | Understanding the connections between different phases of the project, and to have overall knowledge about the whole process. | |
| 2. | Quality Systems for medical device development. Why it's needed? And how we can use it to improve the product safety? | Deeper understanding of QS (including SOP, CAPA, Auditing, DMR, traceability, risk assessment) | |
| 3. | Medical Devices. Definitions, packaging, sterilization, registrations and regulatory. | Understanding the main equalities and differences of regulatory demands between the different countries. | |
| 4. | Testing (mechanical, biomechanical, clinical, and statistical), standards and safety (electrical, biological). | To understand the main methods and why/where we need these results? |
