Medical Devices Europe 2016

OMICS International Conferences invites all the participants from all over the world to attend ‘Europe Surgical and Medical Devices Expo’ during July 18-20,2016 Berlin, Germany which includes prompt keynote presentations, Oral talks, Poster presentations and Exhibitions.

Medical Devices 2016  is a global conclave to discuss and learn about the sessions viz., Market analysis and Business Oppurtunity.

Track 1:Perspectives on Physical Medicine

The specialty of physical medicine  has almost reached its majority, a 20-year period having elapsed since the founding of its qualifying specialty board. Despite the time lapse and a productive literature, an abysmal ignorance of the true capabilities, viewpoints, and techniques of the practitioners of this specialty and of the specialty itself continues to be widespread. The family physician, the specialist, and the academician seem to share equally a lack of understanding of the specialty of physical medicine. For this, there would appear to exist a variety of reasons. Perhaps the most significant one is that of psychological orientation.

Track 2:Advanced Technologies in Medical Devices

The dynamic Healthcare Industry requires market participants to keep a close watch on market movements. From new technological innovations, competitive shifts, and evolving end-user requirements, to regulatory changes and reimbursement issues.The Advanced Medical Technologies track wiil  provide an in-depth coverage of the multitude of products and solutions used by the provider fraternity across a typical clinical pathway, ranging from making a diagnosis, using the appropriate interventional or therapeutic approach and finally monitoring the subject through rehabilitation and convalescence.

Track 3:Medical Devices for Home use

Design of portable home use devices is of great use fort patients at home or who are in travelling.This track will focus on the basics of medical devices as well as side effects to be taken care.

Track 4:Computer Modeling and Simulation for Medical Devices

Computer modeling and simulation has the potential to revolutionize the field of medical devices. Gone are the days of building a physical prototype in a machine shop to test every new idea. Today, medical device developers can use computer models to eliminate many bad ideas before they leave the drawing board—and refine many good ones before they’re used on human patients. Tomorrow, simulations of virtual physiological patients may replace clinical trials.We need to know whether a computer model sufficient reflection of reality?

Track 5:Quality System and Regulatory Issues of Medical Devices

Regulatory Authorities and industry should encourage and support the development of international standards for medical devices to demonstrate compliance with “the Essential Principles of Safety and Performance of Medical Devices''.Regulatory Authorities developing new medical device regulations should encourage  the use of international standards

Track 6:Design of Implants and Radiation Devices

Recently many implantable medical devices have been developed for various medical applications and have tremendously improved the quality of life (QoL) of many patients for whom the more conventional and conservative treatment approaches are failed. Those implanted prosthesis are either playing a crucial life supporting role such as a cardiac pace maker does, or are alleviating the inconvenience in daily life caused by traumatic illnesses, such as stroke.e research results indicate that SAR and safety limitations are body and frequency dependent. High-performance and low-operated power dual-band PIFA antenna for development of the next generation of medical implants operating on the MICS and the ISM bands will facilitate clinically significant improvements in healthcare.

Track 7:Orthotics and Prosthetics

Orthotics is a design of externally applied device used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system. An orthotist is the primary medical clinician responsible for the prescription, manufacture and management of orthoses.It can be used in multipile functions as to restrict movement in a given direction, to assist movement generally, to reduce weight bearing forces for a particular purpose.

Prosthetic Devices are external devices designed to perform or replace all or part of the function of a permanently inoperative or malfunctioning body part. Devices that must be implanted (e.g., pace makers) are reimbursed using the relevant surgical payment policy.

Track 8:Biomarkers and In-vitro Diagnostics

Biomarkers are  indicators (nucleic acids, enzymes, metabolites and other types of molecules: histamines, hormones, proteins, etc.) present in the body or excreted by the body as a biological response to disease.A biomarker can make it possible to identify the presence, the effect and/or the measurement of specific phenomena, such as rapid or early detection of a disease, before the first symptoms appear and even the progression of a disease.In vitro diagnostics are tests that can detect diseases, conditions, or infections. Some tests are used in laboratory or other health professional settings and other tests are for consumers to use at home.

Track 9:Regulatory guidelines and Standards for Medical Devices

The health care guidelines appropriate to the product,are even appliacble to medical devices. The  failure to get regular medical and surgical monitoring and assessments, and failure to report product problems are critical. The various regulatory bodies for medical devices monitoring are:

  • FDA medical devices guidelines
  • EU medical devices guidelines
  • WHO medical devices guidelines
  • Japanese medical devices guidelines

Track 10:Hospital Equipment Business and Market

This track is specially designed so as to target a niche and target market for medical supply business. As health care incorporates new and advancing technologies, medical equipment sales has become a big business. The hardest part is having technologies that are clinically proven and different and better than that of your competitors. Of course, having the best product alone isn't enough if no one knows about it.So this tarck will focus on the spread of the in depth information and dsiscussion related to equipment business.

Track 11:Innovations in Personal Medical Devices.

  • Glucometers
  • Intraocular Lenses/ Ocular Lenses
  • Personal Use Therapeutic Devices
  • Personal Monitoring Devices

A surgical instrument is a specially designed tool or device for performing specific actions of carrying out desired effects during a surgery or operation, such as modifying biological tissue, or to provide access for viewing it. Over time, many different kinds of surgical instruments and tools have been invented. Some surgical instruments are designed for general use in surgery, while others are designed for a specific procedure or surgery.

 

The aim for designing such Expo by  Conference Series is  to provide a forum for international researchers from various areas of  Medical Devices, Medicines and Orthotics, Computer modelling medical devices, Regulatory tips and normal for medical devices, Hospital instrumentality and market,  Regulative problems with medicines and medical devices, Guidelines and standards for medicines and medical devices as well as the recent advancements and upcoming challenges in the respective field.

According to the WHO, there are about 1.5 million medical devices available today, ranging from low cost devices like the thermometer and stethoscope to expensive, highly sophisticated devices like MRI and chemotherapy machines. With the increasing complexity and connectivity of medical devices, the role of medical device development is becoming more crucial. This connectivity has made it possible for doctors to diagnose and treat patients. Research and Markets: South Africa Medical Device Market is forecast to grow at a US Dollar CAGR of 5.6% between 2013-2018. The medium term prospects for the medical device industry look encouraging; based on current trends, the market, of which over 90% is supplied by imports.


Medical devices have become such a vital part of modern healthcare that practically no diagnosis or treatment is possible without them.

Medical devices are durable and disposable in nature. These devices can be used for a wide variety of conditions for surgical procedures, home health care, clinical settings or in the medical office setting. A medical device is an instrument, apparatus, implant, in vitro reagent or anything similar which can be used to diagnose, prevent or treat a disease within the body.

It can be as simple as a tongue depressor, medical thermometer or disposable gloves. It can also be as complex as a computer which can assist in medical testing, an implant like a stent or a prosthesis. Globally, the medical device market is over $209 billion.

Medical devices are classified in one of three regulatory classes, the classification is dependent on the intended use of the device and indications for use. The US accounts for approximately 38% of the global medical device market. China, Japan, Russia and Brazil have the most stringent regulatory compliance for medical devices. Research can be found within market research industry reports which will further outline economic industry trends, device regulation globally and challenges facing medical device leaders.
