When Failure Is Not An Option: Improving Medical Device Reliability
By Ansys - 07 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Medical electronics are expected to operate safely over extended periods of time to provide monitoring, therapeutic or life-sustaining functions for patients. Without built-in reliability, these devices could experience failures or malfunctions that greatly increase the possibility of infection or death. In the movie Apollo 13, NASA’s Gene Kranz (played by actor Ed Harris) made the phrase “... » read more
