It is estimated that the U.S. medical device market is a $57.6 billion industry and, with an increased demand for medical therapies and treatments, a new generation of medical device companies is emerging. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, one of the most important aspects of getting a medical device product to market is knowing where to begin and how to ensure compliance throughout the development life cycle.   National Instruments invites you to a full-day event on graphical system design and how it can help you develop high-quality medical devices in half the time of traditional methods. This complimentary seminar featuring presentations, hardware and software demonstrations, and case studies takes attendees through the creation of a medical device from concept to market.   Attend this event to: Learn how to design, prototype, and deploy FDA-compliant medical devices Discover how NI LabVIEW is used by scientists to complete their research on time and by engineers to shorten development timelines Hear industry experts discuss their approaches to the medical device life cycle Explore technology innovations in software and hardware, including commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware used to design medical devices Examine case studies by system and application integrators who have successfully deployed medical devices Preview the National Instruments Medical Device Grant program offering software and training grants to medical device startups   Who Should Attend This event is designed for biomedical or life science engineers, scientists and technicians who design, build or test Class I, II or III medical devices Time Session 8:45 – 9:00 am Welcome 9:00 – 9:30 am Keynote:  Enabling Innovation In Medical Devices 9:30 – 10:00 am FPGAs in Medical Devices – How and Why 10:00 – 10:15 am BREAK 10:15 – 10:45 am Design, Prototype, and Deployment Technologies for Medical Device 11:00 – 11:45 am Deployment Technologies for Medical Devices 11:45 – 12:15 pm  LUNCH 12:15 – 12:45 pm  Lunch Presentation: Funding a Medical Device Startup in Today’s Economy by Dr. Michael J.
