This paper analyses which design methods are applied in the development of medical devices and whether they are adapted for considering medical devices’ special features (legal, human and technical issues). In particular, variety management, risk assessment and user-centered design for medical devices are examined. Typically, interdisciplinary risk assessment is methodically supported. Additionally, user-centered design methods for requirements assessment, design verification and design validation are applied.en2633-7762202019691978Cambridge University Presshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/biomedical designdesign methodsrisk managementuser-centred designmedical device developmentMedizinIndustrielle FertigungConference Paper10.15480/882.348810.1017/dsd.2020.95http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/dsd.2020.9510.15480/882.3488Other
