Methods: The survey sample of 1,635 was selected in systematic, stratified from MD+DI's domestic circulation in the categories of finished medical device manufacturers and/or in vitro diagnostic manufacturers, representing 29,986 recipients at the time of sample selection.

Data was collected via mail survey from July 1 to August 13, 2010. The survey was closed for tabulation with 517 usable responses—a 32% response rate. The findings highlighted in this report are based on the 441 individuals who indicated they are involved in the industry and work full time in firms manufacturing finished medical devices and/or in vitro diagnostics, representing approximately 25,000 MD+DI recipients.
