A medical device is an apparatus that uses engineering and
scientific principles to interface to physiology and diagnose or
treat a disease. In this Lecture, we specifically consider
thosemedical devices that are computer based, and are therefore
referred to as medical instruments. Further, the medical
instruments we discuss are those that incorporate system theory
into their designs. We divide these types of instruments into those
that provide continuous observation and those that provide a single
snapshot of health information. These instruments are termed
patient monitoring devices and diagnostic devices,
respectively.Within this Lecture, we highlight some of the common
system theory techniques that are part of the toolkit of medical
device engineers in industry. These techniques include the
pseudorandom binary sequence, adaptive filtering, wavelet
transforms, the autoregressive moving average model with exogenous
input, artificial neural networks, fuzzy models, and fuzzy control.
Because the clinical usage requirements for patient monitoring and
diagnostic devices are so high, system theory is the preferred
substitute for heuristic, empirical processing during noise
artifact minimization and classification.
