Medical devices have different requirements than consumer goods, particularly around Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Most consumer grade products could not pass medical grade testing for ESD, radiated emissions, water ingress, or clean-ability.
An example of this is the proliferation of home voice assistants. These products, while wildly popular for consumer user, would need the following changes to be a suitable medical device:
Two internal power supplies to prevent silent shutoff in the event of battery failure.
EMC hardening, not particularly difficult for a device where size is unimportant.
Improved security of personal data to comply with HIPAA. Two options:
Centralized model requires more robust privacy controls than currently implemented. This model also requires a loss of internet to not result in unacceptable risk.
Edge AI - lacks an ability to improve but prevents HIPAA violations by not collecting data. Also does not require an internet connection.
Access control - the speaker will need to only allow authorized users (like nurses and doctors) to perform clinically relevant actions and prevent users from manipulation. This ranges in importance from not very important for diagnostic tools to extremely important for opiod delivery systems.
Consumer products are allowed to stop working, sometimes shock users, break when subjected to abuse, get dirty, lose connection, power off, and be confusing while medical devices are not. Consumer products assume a healthy immune system and the ability of the consumer to protect themselves, medical devices have to assume a comatose immuno-compromised user who cannot protect themselves. Mild annoyances in consumer products would lead to recalls of medical products. This analysis will help you predict where these differences will manifest for a particular medical device.
