Leeruitkomsten
The course deals with (not necessarily technical) aspects which are of specific importance for engineering and bringing to the market of medical products. It consists of 3 parts: Medical Ethics, Ergonomics of Human Factors and Medical Device Regulation.
Medical Ethics
The student can:
Ergonomics of Human Factors
The student can:
Medical Device Regulation MDR
The student can:
Medical Ethics
The student can:
- recognize the different ethical theories and apply them to an arbitrary case;
- deal with the ethical aspects associated with the professional and research practice;
- compose an information and informed consent form in accordance with the regulations of the medical ethical committee;
- analyze a medical-ethical or research-ethical problem, using a six-step process;
- present a well-argued viewpoint on a medical-ethical or research-ethical case.
Ergonomics of Human Factors
The student can:
- on a basic level identify, explain, and evaluate the impact of various personal attributes (physical, sensory, and cognitive HF aspects);
- analyse the effect of physical environment factors on comfort and performance;
- apply addressed human factors principles in design.
Medical Device Regulation MDR
The student can:
- understands the regulatory environment for the development of a medical device.
- knows impact of MDR and CE for product design and use;
- knows the route to obtain product conformity and approval by notified body;
- knows the different risk classes of medical products;
- be familiar with Safety Requirements and Technical Construction File;
- can apply the Medical Device Regulation in medical product design.
Inhoud
Medical Ethics
The Ethics course gives an introduction to the theory of medical and research-ethics. The student takes note of a number of classical ethical approaches and can argue them on a medical-ethical and research-ethical case.
Ergonomics of Human Factors
Medical Device Regulation MDR
Create awareness of dedicated legislation, concerning safety and quality, when designing and using medical devices.
