Current Usage, Comparative Total Cost of Development and Future Outlook under Severe Downsizing of DoD Funding
The Aerospace and Defense Industries of the United States are poised to undergo one of the most significant changes since the end of the Cold War, perhaps the most significant since World War II.
If the readers have been paying attention to Secretary Gates, the handwriting is on the wall – but it’s in fine print, not in the harsh language that the DoD has acknowledged. We continue to believe that observers who expect small changes are mistaken, fostering a false and dangerous sense of security across much of the industry and government. Developers, OEMs and systems integrators should be prepared for a rapidly changing marketplace as procurement spending will be uncertain and competitors will be scrambling to find new markets and applications to cover anticipated losses.

EMF Guide for Medical Device Developers
The FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) reported that in 2006, 21% of all medical device recalls were for software defects – it is also estimated that one-in-three software-based products is recalled. They haven’t updated this data since, but one can assume that it might have gotten worse.
Medical device developers and company CEOs should be aware that this is an unacceptable situation and that it is going to rapidly change. Those that don’t get it straight won’t be around when the dust settles.
Is there enough aspirin to relieve the headaches that our government is giving medical device manufacturers?
The purpose of this paper is to present the medical device developer, guidelines for complying with the “suggestions” of the CDRH. Technology exists today that allows a company’s current tools and processes to be retained, while presenting choices that developers can use to meet CDRH guidelines. EMF research has shown that these technologies are not only affordable, but that they can increase ROI and significantly reduce the chance of a product recall or a patient injury.
This paper is written to present alternative paths for developers to produce quality software for medical devices, minimize product recalls, and affordably provide comprehensive audit trails for CDRH inspectors. Keeping the company alive and your CEO out of jail are bonuses.
