Abstract
Medical devices can have very stringent performance requirements. The life of a critically ill patient can be determined by the quality of the monitoring and therapeutic devices being used in his or her treatment. But how is quality guaranteed? What are the characteristics of a medical device that determine its quality? The author discusses the methods used for designing quality into medical devices
