Objectives
The objectives of the course are to provide students with knowledge and skills covering all stages of the medical device life cycle (from design to marketing).
Train specialists in the design, evaluation, production, and regulation of medical devices by developing students' ability to adapt to the scientific, industrial, and societal environment through work-study programs and interactive learning methods.
Know-how and skills
Ability to design a medical device based on scientific and technical knowledge of biomaterials,
Mastering the specialties of medical devices throughout their life cycle within the company (R&D, Production, Regulatory Affairs, Quality, Marketing, etc.).
- Design projects in compliance with international regulations, establish conditions and controls to ensure quality, from design to marketing of medical devices;
- Establish and maintain all documentation that can be inspected by international health authorities.
- Analyze the existing situation and determine the parameters for change that will lead to innovation.
- Study and determine the procedures to be followed for each manufacturing process - Compile CE marking files.
- Master and understand the various stages involved in designing a medical device. Draw up specifications for an application. Compile a design file. Understand the regulatory framework governing healthcare products and their design.
- Analyze the scientific, medical, and economic value of a new medical device based on the state of the art (scientific articles, patents, commercialization methods, etc.), production costs, and returns.

Program
Students on the DMCC course receive training based on two complementary areas:
1- Acquisition of knowledge obtained from teaching provided by professionals in the medical device sector [designers (academic and industrial researchers and engineers)], users (doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, etc.), institutions (ANSM, notified body, HAS, etc.) and industrial professionals (development, production, regulation, evaluation, quality, marketing)].
2- Medical device life cycle project aimed at building a progressive path for a medical device, from design to marketing
