Abstract
This report summarizes the activities of the Workshop on Measurement Methods for Evaluation of the Reliability of Active Implantable Medical Devices, held October 3 and 4, 2005 in Gaithersburg, MD. The two-day workshop brought together representatives from all the major device manufacturers, as well as experts from the electronics industry, the military, academia, and the standards community. Presentations and open discussions were held to provoke thoughtful consideration of the industry needs. This report contains an executive summary, the workshop literature (agenda, abstracts, biographies, etc.), bulleted summaries of the discussion sessions, comments from the participants, and a CD containing all the presentations from the workshop.
