Presentation:  "Medical Components Reliability Specifications Webinar," Anthony Primavera (Boston Scientific Corporation), November 6, 2008.

The INEMI Medical Components Reliability Specifications Project's goal was to leverage industry knowledge to create a minimum set of requirements for electronics components for application in life critical applications.  To this end, the group established a set of recommendations and standards that the electronics community would embrace for electronic medical products.

Specific deliverables included:

• Test and Extrapolation Methodologies
• Sampling Population Assessment
• Range and Conditions of Applicability
• Test Methodologies and Criteria
• Medical Grade Guidelines  
• FMEA of MLCC failures
• Use Conditions for Life Critical Medical Components
• Review of existing and related Standards and Test Methods

This webinar discussed Phase I results.
