I ordered this book with the idea that this would give me an understanding of the environment that our company is going to put our product into, not so. This is a book for the budding medical inventor who wants to have a basic understanding of the hoops they are going to have to jump thru to get their product to market or even before an interested medical company. This it does quite well and goes on to list other resources that dive more deeply and completely into the FDA, ISO, and other bureaucracies you’ll face.

The writing and coverage of this book are both excellent. It is in fact the only book on the topic of designing user interfaces for medical equipment. The price, however, is staggering. Be certain that you will need this book before plunking down that much money. At that price, one would expect it to be in full color–and some of the graphics in the book really suffer for being black and white.
Wiklund covers a great deal of the medical device design process with specific examples. At seven years old, the book is also becoming a bit dated–it is time for a revision.
