Biomedical Engineering Tech 1

AMME5990

Elective Unit of Study: Product development in the biomedical area presents unique challenges that need to be addressed to efficiently satisfy strict regulatory requirements and to successfully advance products to approval for marketing. Biomedical engineers need a broad understanding of these challenges as the main components of product development are complex and interdependent. Development of good manufacturing and quality control processes, preclinical and clinical validation of product safety and efficacy, and regulatory filings, are each progressive and interdependent processes. This UoS will provide a broad understanding of regulatory requirements for biomedical product development, with particular emphasis on the dependence of each component on the development of processes and control systems that conform to Good Manufacturing Practice. This UoS assumes prior knowledge of cell biology and chemistry and builds on that foundation to elaborate on the important aspects of biomedical product development. The objectives are:1. To gain a broad understanding of biomedical product development within the regulatory framework.2. To understand the challenges and difficulties of Good Manufacturing Practice.3. Understand the purpose and conduct of preclinical and clinical testing.4. To understand how each of these components fit together to support regulatory filings.
