Standardizing medical device communications: the Medical Information Bus.

Data collection from different types of medical devices is currently a time-consuming process that is done manually. The Medical Information Bus (MIB) defines standardized methods for interfacing medical devices and computer systems. The potential impact on current electromedical products and future product developments is huge. This article describes MIB and identifies some of the issues that must be resolved for its successful implementation.

Developing safety-critical software.

The role of safety-critical software in the development of medical devices is becoming increasingly important and ever more exacting demands are being made of software developers. This article considers safety issues and a software development life-cycle based on the safety life-cycle described in IEC 1508, "Safety-Related Systems: Functional Safety." It identifies relevant standards, both emerging and published, and provides guidance on methods that could be used to meet those standards.
