MD+DI is getting ready to publish its annual salary survey in December 2011. But we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the data we've collected on salaries in the industry.

How many years have you been at your organization?

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

Data were collected via mail survey from July 1 to August 13, 2011. 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.

The margin of error for percentages based on 441 usable responses is ±4.6 percentage points at a confidence level of 95%.
