EMB sessions at WESCON

Organized by Michael Miller — executive director of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation — this session turned out to be the most controversial of the four meetings on Medical Electronics presented at WESCON 73. The roles of Government and the private sector in standard setting were discussed by Dr. H. Ley and the methodology for the standard setting was outlined by FDA spokesman Bob Cangelosi. A look at standards from industry´s point of view was introduced by Mort Levin from Hewlett-Packard. To wrap up, Dr. Miller made his presentation on the legal implications of the new standards to become effective once Senate Bill S 2368 (Kennedy-Rogers) is enacted into law.
