Medical Device Technologies:
A Systems Based Overview Using Engineering Standards
Gail Baura
ISBN: 978-0-12-374976-5
The goal of this textbook is to provide undergraduate engineering students with an introduction to commonly manufactured medical devices. It is the first textbook that discusses both electrical and mechanical medical devices. The first 20 chapters are medical device technology chapters; the remaining 8 chapters are medical device laboratory experiment chapters.
Each medical device chapter begins with an exposition of appropriate physiology, mathematical modeling or biocompatibility issues, and clinical need. A device system description and system diagram provide details on technology function and administration of diagnosis and/or therapy. The systems approach enables students to quickly identify the relationships between devices. Device key features are based on five applicable consensus standard requirements from organizations such as ISO and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI)... [more]

Biofluid Mechanics:
An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Macrocirculation, and Microcirculation
David Rubenstein
Wei Yin
Mary Frame
ISBN: 978-0-12-381383-1
Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement and renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations, derives the state equations and then shows examples of their usage. Clinical applications, extensive worked examples, and numerous end of chapter problems clearly show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations. A section on experimental techniques provides a springboard for future research efforts in the subject area... [more]

Tissue engineering is one of the fastest growing fields in technology
and medicine. In the US alone, over 1/2 trillion dollars are spent
each year to care for patients who suffer from tissue loss or dysfunction.
This important science is enhancing lives by providing replacement
human parts, from heart valves and skin to nerves, muscle, cartilage
and liver tissue. As such, large amounts of money are being invested
in this developing field as it grows as an area of study... [more]

and Biosystem Engineering
Daniel Vallero
ISBN: 978-0-7506-8227-5
Biomedical Ethics for Engineers provides biomedical engineers with
a new set of tools and an understanding that the application of ethical
measures will seldom reach consensus even among fellow engineers
and scientists. The solutions are never completely technical, so
the engineer must continue to improve the means of incorporating
a wide array of societal perspectives, without sacrificing sound
science and good design principles... [more]
