The relevant physiology, clinical need, history, and system descriptions of eighteen fundamental medical devices are discussed and analyzed. Students are also introduced to several medical device systems, including medical instruments, electrical stimulators, and combination products. These topics provide a foundational background for medical device product development and regulation.
