Getting a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for a medical device right the first time is almost impossible. Datasheets can be misleading, or assumptions and architectures change. As a result, modifications are almost inevitable. Sometimes the modification is as simple as swapping resistors or adding capacitors. Other times it involves tacking on new circuits you had no idea you needed.

In this engaging episode of Bio Break, Nick and Joris dive into the complex world of platform technologies in product development, exploring the pros and cons of this widely discussed concept. From in-vitro diagnostics to point-of-care instruments, the term "platform" often sparks excitement—and sometimes hesitation. But what does it truly mean to build a platform-based product, and when does it make sense?

Four areas that can make or break a new medical device development project from the start. Experts identify actions and offer advice that helps ensure new medical device projects start on the right foot.
-
Engineers, regulatory, manufacturing and optics experts share their experiences and lessons learned commercializing hundreds of medical devices with optics components and interacting with optics engineers.
-
Three common elements can be observed in biomedical product development projects that are doomed to failure. They are the Three “P’s” – Platform, Point of Care, and Program Manager.
