Registration for th is event is free for current members of any of these partner organisations .\n\nBiomedical engineering operates within a complex environment of regul atory requirements\, quality systems and technical standards. Whether deve loping innovative medical technologies\, managing healthcare equipment or translating research into commercial products\, engineers need a strong un derstanding of how standards influence practice.\n\nThis full-day event wi ll introduce participants to the role of standards in biomedical engineeri ng and provide perspectives from academia\, healthcare\, industry and Stan dards Australia. Presentations and panel discussions will explore standard s development\, implementation challenges and their application across res earch and industry environments.\n\nParticipants will gain practical insig hts into ISO 13485 and AS/NZS 3551 and take part in a hands-on workshop us ing real medical devices and assessment tools. The event is designed to he lp engineers build confidence in applying standards throughout the lifecyc le of medical technologies.\n\nLearning outcomes\n\nIn this presentation\, you will learn:\n\n- how standards support quality\, safety and regulator y compliance within biomedical engineering\n- the role of Standards Austra lia and the process used to develop and maintain standards\n- how ISO 1348 5 and AS/NZS 3551 are applied in medical device design\, management and co mmercialisation\n- practical methods for applying AS/NZS 3551 through hand s-on evaluation of medical devices and equipment.\n\nWho should attend?\n\ nThis event is suited to engineering students\, researchers and academics with a view to commercialise their work and early career biomedical engine ers with limited familiarity with applying Standards.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Society of Medical and Biological Engineering Australia\, IEEE Consumer Te chnologies Society NSW Chapter\n\nAgenda: \nProgram\n\nIn-person:\n\n- 9.0 0 am AEDT: Registrations open\n- 9.30 am AEDT: Event begins\, welcome and introductions (Dr Iain Brown / Dr Tejas Canchi)\n- 10.00 am AEDT: Academic / research translation pain points with respect to Standards (Dr Ali Mehra bi)\n- 10.45 am AEDT: Morning Tea\n- 11.00 am AEDT: Standards Australia ta lk about their function and coordination through committees\, programs (Be n Russell / Michelle Su)\n- 11.30 am AEDT: Panel discussion on Standards ( Ali\, Ben\, Michelle\, Samhita Soman)\n- 12.15 pm AEDT: Lunch\n- 1.00 pm A EDT: ISO 13485 intro lecture (Paige Jackson/Samhita Soman)\n- 2.00 pm AEDT : AS/NZS 3551 Intro (Mike Flood)\n- 2.45 pm AEDT: Afternoon Tea\n- 3.00 pm AEDT: Hands on workshop (AS 3551 in practice – Michael Anderson).\n- 4. 00 pm AEDT: Event ends\n\nSpeakers\n\nDr Ali Mehrabi\, Senior Lecturer\, W estern Sydney University\n\nBen Russell\, Standards Australia\n\nMichelle Su\, Resmed\n\nSamhita Soman\, Nanosonics\n\nMike Flood\, Locus Consulting \n\nMichael Anderson\, NSW Health\n\nDr Iain Brown\, NSW Health and Engine ers Australia\n\nBldg: Westpac building\, 44 market street\, Mezzanine flo or\, Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2000 LOCATION:Bldg: Westpac building\, 44 market street\, Mezzanine floor\, Sydn ey\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2000 ORGANIZER:tejas.canchi.2015@ieee.org SEQUENCE:31 SUMMARY:Workshop on Application of Standards in Biomedical Engineering URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576378 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h3 class="mt-4">Overview</h3>\n<p><em>This e vent is proudly brought to you as a collaboration between Engineers Austra lia Biomedical College\, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS)\, the Society for Medical and Biological Engineering NSW (SMBE NSW) and Standards Australia.
