Medical Safety Critical Design Patterns
One of the most active areas in the research and practice of modern systems development is in the identification and reification of design patterns. A design pattern is a generalized solution to a commonly recurring problem. Although a number of books, as well as active newsgroups and websites, are available on the topic, little information is available for design patterns specific to the real-time embedded systems world and especially for safety-critical design. This presentation, taught by the author of "Real-Time Design Patterns: Robust Scalable Architectures for Real-Time Systems" discusses architectural design patterns specific to safety-critical systems.

Design: Medical Device Portability
Increasing portability in medical devices is about making hard choices. There is always a cost for miniaturization, whether it be in functionality, battery life, or just plain old dollars and cents (and we’re talking millions). Pocket-sized and wireless medical devices may be the promise of the future, but some companies are forging ahead to make these devices today. Device design experts from the Medical Design Excellence Awards explore trends in portability, and discuss both the costs and the rewards of making medical devices to-go. Moderated by Heather Thompson, Managing Editor, MD+DI.

Three 'Must-Have' Capabilities for Securing and Controlling Medical Devices
Many medical devices have become interconnected systems running commercial operating systems on commoditized hardware. This has presented challenges for device manufacturers and hospitals. Similar to a PC, these systems are susceptible to constant patching and frequent updates. Devices are vulnerable to unauthorized changes, unwanted applications, and malware that causes breakage and compliance gaps. This FREE webinar, "Three ‘Must-Have’ Capabilities for Securing and Controlling Medical Device," will examine medical device life cycle challenges: From manufacturing, to the device channel, to the hospital. This event will highlight how traditional security technology that would normally be applied to PCs is not sufficient for achieving security, control, and compliance on medical systems. Finally, recommendations will be provided for properly securing and controlling medical systems and devices.

How to Implement Sophisticated Interfaces to Drive Next-Generation Medical Devices
This FREE webinar discusses the evolution of medical devices from custom made software and hardware with relatively crude interfaces to becoming modern devices leveraging off the shelf software with sophisticated user interfaces with audio and video capabilities. Many medical devices require sophisticated user interfaces for practitioners and patients. Medical device developers can no longer afford to write unique and custom application with device interfaces, UI and audio video capabilities for each new project.
Leveraging off-the-shelf hardware and software platforms that provide the graphics, networking, device connectivity, operating system and hardware support required for modern devices, can have great savings.
This webcast will feature live presentations by industry experts with extensive experience in software and hardware for medical devices. Panelists for the Webcast include: Bill Graham, Product Marketing Manager of VxWorks, Wind River; Mike Taborn, Platform Architect, Medical Segment, Intel; and, Matthias Huber, Director of Medical, Kontron.

Handling Device Recalls, Corrections, and Removals
Even with the best preparation, a device can go wrong. Regardless of the reason for remedial field corrections, a conscientious manufacturer should aim to correct the problem to maintain costumer loyalty and satisfaction. An effective strategy is essential to surviving a recall. Robust corrective and preventative action (CAPA) systems are more than just a formal mechanism for tracking problems. Experts will discuss developing an effective system for handling recalls, corrections, and removals successfully. An interactive Q&A session will follow the presentation.
