Staff analysis, prepared with CRS assistance for the Subcom on Health and the Environment, of H.R. 5545 (text, sectional analysis, p. 9-117) and S. 510 (text, sectional analysis, p. 118-211), both titled the Medical Device Amendments of 1975, to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, to insure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices intended for human use.

This book presents a detailed summary of research on automatic layout of device-level analog circuits that was undertaken in the late 1980s and early 1990s at Carnegie Mellon University. We focus on the work behind the creation of the tools called KOAN and ANAGRAM II, which form part of the core of the CMU ACACIA analog CAD system. KOAN is a device placer for custom analog cells; ANANGRAM II a detailed area router for these analog cells. We strive to present the motivations behind the architecture of these tools, including detailed discussion of the subtle technology and circuit concerns that must be addressed in any successful analog or mixed-signal layout tool. Our approach in organizing the chapters of the book has been to present our algo rithms as a series of responses to these very real and very difficult analog layout problems. Finally, we present numerous examples of results generated by our algorithms. This research was supported in part by the Semiconductor Research Corpora tion, by the National Science Foundation, by Harris Semiconductor, and by the International Business Machines Corporation Resident Study Program. Finally, just for the record: John Cohn was the designer of the KOAN placer; David Garrod was the designer of the ANAGRAM II router (and its predeces sor, ANAGRAM I). This book was architected by all four authors, edited by John Cohn and Rob Rutenbar, and produced in finished form by John Cohn.

Medical Device Regulation provides the current FDA-CDRH thinking on the regulation of medical devices. This book offers information on how devices meet criteria for being a medical device, which agencies regulate medical devices, how policies regarding regulation affect the market, rules regarding marketing, and laws and standards that govern testing. This practical, well-structured reference tool helps medical device manufacturers both in and out of the United States with premarket application and meeting complex FDA regulatory requirements. The book delivers a comprehensive overview of the field from an author with expertise in regulatory affairs and commercialization of medical devices. Offers a unique focus on the regulatory affairs industry, specifically targeted at regulatory affairs professionals and those seeking certification Puts regulations in the context of contemporary design Includes case studies and applications of regulations
