When a mitigation effort lowers the initial risk but introduces new issues that are even worse, such as more components that could malfunction, I believe that…   Read more»

When you build a device, of course you would want it to function, which may cause…   Read more»

Nothing would ever reach patients if businesses attempted to eliminate every potential…   Read more»

The idea was to replace conventional foam liners with a multi-layer lattice that…   Read more»

It’s simple to think of them as more paperwork rather than anything…   Read more»

If a user requests that a device should be easy to clean you could decide that all…   Read more»

Problems with the device may not become apparent until the end of development or even after it has been put on the market. It’s quite difficult to determine…   Read more»

It really is amazing how, even if the medication isn’t helping in itself, the mere belief that you’re receiving treatment may improve your health, at least mentally. It can…   Read more»
