A medical device is designed by engineers, cleared by regulators, chosen by physicians, and used — minute by minute — by nurses. Each holds a piece of its safety that no one else can hold for them. Yet almost every book on the subject speaks to only one of these readers. The Long Life of a Safe Device is written for all of them at once.
This is a practical, plain-spoken guide to keeping medical devices — and the patients who depend on them — safe across a device's entire lifecycle, from the first design decision to final disposal. It turns the core disciplines of device safety into a single, readable narrative, and wherever a point lands differently for a nurse, a physician, or an engineer, a short labeled aside says so.
Inside this book:
What a medical device is, how it's classified, and the global regulatory landscape (FDA, EU MDR/IVDR, and beyond)
Risk management the way ISO 14971 intends it — from hazard identification and estimation to risk controls and residual risk
Safety built in during development: quality systems (ISO 13485), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), materials of animal origin, and clinical evaluation
Safety defended in the market: maintenance, user training, vigilance and incident response, causality assessment, post-market surveillance, PMCF, and PSURs
Real device failures — an insulin pump, a pacemaker, an MRI scanner, a defibrillator — and the specific discipline that would have caught each one
Who it's for:
Nurses and clinicians at the point of care. Physicians selecting and overseeing devices. Design, quality, and regulatory engineers who build the evidence. Safety and pharmacovigilance professionals who monitor devices in use. Students and newcomers who want the whole picture in one place.
Clear enough to read cover to cover and organized to return to as a reference, The Long Life of a Safe Device gives every member of the team not only their own responsibility — but the visibility to trust their colleagues are holding theirs.
Written by Hafez Selim, MD, PhD, a physician and scientist with deep experience in medical device and drug safety across the product lifecycle, from premarket development through post-market surveillance.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
