Selecting the right sensors for use in your medical device is key to optimizing your design for manufacturing, assembly, packaging, sterilization, and testing. Depending on the application and classification of a medical device and its accessories, sensor selection is based on the types of sensors available, tolerances for the project, and what can be measured. In this session, we'll look at a number of important factors to consider, so you can make the right choice for your medical device.

Topics covered include:

Seven of the most popular sensors used in medical device applications and the pros/cons of each
How to customize sensor for specific applications
Design factors to consider, including whether the sensor is invasive, needs to be disposable, or integrated with a larger system
Use case examples demonstrating applications, customization, and better practices
