Reverse Engineering in Medical Device Design: When and Why It Makes Sense

By Khushali Solanki
Product Development, Human factors engineering

Reverse engineering carries a reputation problem in medical device circles; it sounds like copying. In practice, it's a legitimate engineering discipline with specific, defensible use cases: replacing obsolete components, improving an existing design's manufacturability, and indigenizing imported parts. This article looks at when reverse engineering genuinely makes sense in medical device development, the technical process involved, and the intellectual property considerations teams need to navigate before using it.

Why Organizations Miss Emerging Product Risk: Understanding the engineering mechanisms that remain hidden long before complaint trends become visible

By Aalap Patel, MS, CQE, CSSBB
post market surveillance

Emerging medical-device risks are often missed because early warning signs are fragmented across complaints, manufacturing, suppliers, returned products, clinical observations, and other data sources; not immediately as statistically significant trends. An engineering-centered, cross-functional approach connecting these weak signals to underlying mechanisms sooner, can improve designs, verification, manufacturing controls, and risk management before isolated issues become widespread quality problems.

Maintaining trust in medical AI: Monitoring and managing model lifecycle

By Anna Vuolo
Trust in AI

Healthcare environments are dynamic with patient populations, clinical practices and data collection methods continuously evolving. Similarly, effective AI systems depend on more than performance at initial deployment. They must be monitored and managed throughout their lifecycle to remain reliable, clinically relevant, and safe.
