As such, many medical device design projects begin with a search for solutions rather than a clear appraisal of needs. Understanding clinical needs, user needs, unmet needs and the differences between them is crucial. Through a process of filtering research into an array of needs the author prescribes a method to help designers find the essential value of a design effort. This process concludes with the creation of design requirements, a list of which will be among the first documents submitted to the FDA as part of regulatory compliance for a given device. For medical device startups, design consulting firms and corporate manufacturers, a clear understanding of needs can mark the difference between designing a product and solving a problem. 2010-08-05 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1277124765 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1277124765 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
