Medical Device Reliability and Associated Areas

The medical device industry is among the fastest growing segments of the U.S. economy, and Medical Device Reliability and Associated Areas provides comprehensive coverage of the field. It covers a wide range of topics related, directly and indirectly, to reliability, maintainability, safety, and risk assessment, including human error in health care systems and software quality assurance. With emphasis on concepts rather than mathematical rigor, a multitude of examples, exercises, tables, and references, this is one resource that everyone connected to the medical device industry must have on their shelves.
