Reliability and Quality Assurance for Medical Device Design

Reliability and quality assurance for medical device design examines whether medical devices are fit for continued service until the next shutdown based on protection against failure modes (plastic collapse, local failure, buckling and cyclic loading).

Equipment may contain flaws, not meet current design standards or be subjected to more severe operation condition than current design.

Medical device services include

FEA based fracture assessment
Heat transfer and thermal stress assessment
Vibration and fatigue assessment
Expected lifetime analysis
Long-term reliability assessment
Non-linear analysis
Overall performance evaluation

Miniaturization
