Summary
Medical Device Product Development — the design, development, verification/validation, risk management, and design transfer of novel medical devices and combination products under design controls (FDA 21 CFR 820, ISO 14971). Distinct from general mechanical or software engineering focuses in its regulated environment: every design decision is traced through the Design History File, validated against user needs, and transferred to manufacturing under documented design control. Covers CAD/FEA design, materials/biocompatibility, test method development, and regulatory strategy for active and passive devices.
