Abstract
Medical devices cover a wide range of products and applications that can be as basic as a tongue press, or as complex as an implanted life-sustaining therapy delivery device such as an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG), or Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD). This chapter will provide an overview of medical devices that have electronic content, and an in-depth review of implantable medical devices design, manufacturing, and reliability considerations. The authors will examine industry trends, discuss key design considerations, and provide a review of product development, manufacturing, and reliability considerations for implantable medical electronics.
