Tips for building a medical device optical breadboard prototype. When designing a medical device made of complex, multi-functional mutually interacting subsystems it’s best to de-risk those subsystems instead of coming up with a paper design, assembling it, and hoping it works first time. De-risking individual subsystem behaviours one at a time enables more-focused assessments and improves troubleshooting.
