Remove the ‘Frankenstein Effect’ from Medical Devices
May 16, 2013 12:19 pm | by Bob Frostholm, Director of Sales and Marketing, JVD Inc. | Blogs | CommentsNowhere is the concept of developing a system with ‘point-products’ more hazardous than in medical devices. It is here that the performance of every aspect of the system is critical to the long-term behavior of the end product. Interoperability between components takes on a whole new meaning in the context of critical care. Like Shelley’s monster, multiple devices from multiple suppliers will perform differently under identical conditions.
