  • Trade Secret Prices & High-Tech Devices: How Medical Device Manufacturers are Seeking to Sustain Profits by Propertizing Prices
    2016
    Co-Authors: Annemarie Bridy
    Abstract:

    The law of trade secrets has taken a back seat to copyrights and patents in the explosion of scholarship on intellectual property issues over the last decade. While scholars concerned for the future of the public domain have argued forcefully and persuasively against the continuing expansion of rights - both in scope and duration - for holders of copyrights and patents, they have said little about the corresponding "creep" that has been occurring in the law of trade secrets. This article examines some of the causes and effects of that "creep" in the context of recent claims by the Medical Device Manufacturer Guidant that the actual prices its hospital customers pay for implantable Devices, including cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, are protectable as trade secrets under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act ("UTSA").Annemarie BridyProfessor<http://www.uidaho.edu/law/faculty/annemariebridy>|University of Idaho College of Law|PO Box 83720-0051|Boise, ID 83720|Ph. 208.364.4583Affiliate Scholar<https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/about/people/annemarie-bridy>|Stanford Center for Internet and SocietyAffiliate Fellow<http://isp.yale.edu/people-directory?type=19>|Yale Information Society ProjectSSRN<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=630766>|HeinOnline<http://heinonline.org/HOL/AuthorProfile?collection=journals&search_name=Bridy,%20Annemarie&base=js>|LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/annemariebridy>|Twitter<https://twitter.com/AnnemarieBridy>

  • Developing a quality management system implementation process for a Medical Device Manufacturer
    Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, 2015
    Co-Authors: Eduardo Gadotti Martins, Edson Pinheiro De Lima, Sérgio Eduardo Gouvêa Da Costa
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a quality management system (QMS) implementation process for a Medical Devices Manufacturer, which are covered by ISO 13485:2007 and RDC No. 59:2000 and based on operations strategy content definitions. Design/methodology/approach – The research strategy is based on the Cambridge approach which is supported by action research techniques for producing “application” processes. This research strategy is also known as the “Process Approach” or “the Engineering Approach” and was developed in the mid-1990s by researchers from the “Institute for Manufacturing” (IFM/University of Cambridge). Findings – The results reveal how real conditions “shape” implementation, indicating solutions for integrating procedures for performance and control indicators that represent manufacturing strategy objectives. The regulatory framework and the manufacturing environment offer these real conditions. The operations strategy that is underlying implementation shows how to ...

  • Research and Application of Quality Inspection Information System in Medical Device Manufacturers
    Chinese journal of medical instrumentation, 2021
    Co-Authors: Dingyu Lin, Yongbing Guo, Qing Zhu
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE To improve the production and inspection efficiency of Medical Device Manufacturers, improve the quality system management level of Manufacturers, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of Medical Devices. METHODS Sort out the business process of the Medical Device Manufacturer, connect the database of production and ERP system to inspection system, and build the operation software for the quality control department. RESULTS The system has covered all the products of the Manufacturer, and has realized the informatization and visualization of the inspection process. CONCLUSIONS The research and application of the system can improve the quality management traceability system of Medical Device Manufacturers, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of Medical Device quality inspection.

  • Lean manufacturing as a high-performance work system: the case of Cochlear
    International Journal of Production Research, 2014
    Co-Authors: Paul J. Gollan, Senia Kalfa, Renu Agarwal, Roy Green, Krithika Randhawa
    Abstract:

    This paper addresses the Special Issue call for Australian examples of innovative management systems that enable the production of successful products by drawing on a single case study: Medical Device Manufacturer Cochlear. Through qualitative case study methodology, we examine the human resource management practices that complemented the implementation of lean manufacturing principles. We argue that in their implementation, Cochlears management team enriched the traditional understanding of lean and its focus on waste reduction, low cost and quality assurance by adopting people management practices as an integrated component of the overall management capability which allowed their people to grow and develop. The combination of lean and HR practices transformed Cochlear to a high-performance work system and positively impacted production processes and output. By examining a Medical Device Manufacturer, an under-researched sector, our paper expands existing literature on lean manufacturing and provides implications for practitioners.14 page(s
