Reliability and testing of medical devices

The following research paper was discussed at the IEEE Workshop on Accelerated Stress Testing and Reliability.
Medical devices cannot tolerate field failures. This is to ensure patient safety and a regulated environment, as well as avoid financial ramifications from a business standpoint.
The paper discusses how important reliability testing and analysis during design and manufacturing of medical devices really is and reveals some case studies.
