Pre-Owned medical devices are defined as the devices that were owned earlier by any healthcare institution and that are now subject to sale or repurchase after refurbishment. 'Refurbishment' is defined as restoration of the device to its original specifications including replacement of basic wear parts and aesthetic changes to a complete end-to-end refurbishment. The pre-owned medical devices market study is thus, of interest of the refurbishment service providers. This report exclusively studies the market for pre-owned medical devices from aspects such as value of the refurbishment services rendered, per medical device type. The pre-owned medical devices market is classified by the medical device type that is refurbished i.e. X-ray and Mammography Machines, CT Machines, MRI Machines, UltraSound Machines, Nuclear Imaging and Medicine Devices and C-arm Devices. The market size and forecast for the period 2013 – 2019, in terms of USD million, considering 2012 as the base year has been provided for each segment and sub-segment in the report. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for each segment has been provided for the forecast period from 2013 – 2019.

Neurological disorders-conditions that affect the nervous system-are on the rise, and so is the demand for treating these conditions. This, in turn, has given the demand for neurology devices a fillip. The market for neurology devices is currently in expansion mode, and this research report charts this growth path between 2013 and 2019.

Electrophysiology devices are used in the diagnosis and treatment of those diseases that occur due to abnormal electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. Electrophysiology devices have wide application in the management of cardiac arrhythmias. The study analyzes two major segments of the electrophysiology devices market namely, electrophysiology monitoring devices and treatment devices. The market for electrophysiology monitoring devices comprises for all those devices that are widely used in the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, epilepsy and retinal disorders. Electrophysiology monitoring devices are segmented as electrocardiograph, electroencephalograph, electroretinograph, electromyograph, electrocorticograph, electrooculograph, x-ray systems, imaging and 3D mapping systems, diagnostic electrophysiology catheters and Holter monitoring devices. The market for treatment devices includes pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices and catheters. The report also explains various technological advancements taking place in the segment.

The global mechanical ventilators market is expected to witness notable growth primarily because of rapid technological innovation in the design and portability of these devices and the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory disorders. In addition, increase in preference of cost deviation by hospitals by transferring long term ventilated patients to home care settings is expected to be another major factor spurring the demand for portable and home care mechanical ventilators. The global market for mechanical ventilation has come a long way since the past two decades and its growth is mainly attributed to the high demand for technologically advanced medical devices in developed markets.

Failure analysis is an engineering approach to determining how and why component or equipment has failed. The goal of a failure analysis is to understand the root cause of the failure to prevent similar failures in the future. Common causes of failure include misuse or abuse, manufacturing defects, assembly errors, improper maintenance, design errors, improper material, fastener failure, improper heat treatments, inadequate quality assurance, inadequate environmental protection/control, unforeseen operating conditions and casting discontinuities.

Appropriate selection of excipients during the new product development is one of the critical in the pharmaceutical formulations. Criteria for selection of suitable excipient depend on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the excipient. Primarily, it should help stabilize and protect the drug/active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the formulation against degradation, oxidation or aggregation, during manufacturing, transport and storage. Preformulation studies comprise investigation of drug-excipient interactions that help in selection of appropriate excipients to achieve the desired properties for the final drug product. Albumin is a well characterized protein and functions as a therapeutic, diagnostic agent, as well as an excipient. As an excipient, albumin has wide applications in drug formulation, drug delivery, vaccine manufacturing and as a component of media in vaccine production. Stable nature of albumin makes its handling and storage easier than other proteins, making it suitable for use as an excipient. Albumin due to its intrinsic stability can be heated at 60°C for 10 hours facilitating virus inactivation during manufacturing.

Welding consumables are materials such as metals, alloys, and minerals that are used for amalgamation of metal and thermoplastic components. Commonly used welding consumables for different welding processes in the U.S. include stick electrodes, flux-cored wires, solid wires, SAW wires and fluxes, and various shielding gases and rods. Flux-cored wires are used for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) applications in various end-user industries. Welding consumables are primarily employed in building & construction, automobile & transportation, power, oil & gas, and marine industries. The bargaining power of buyers of welding consumables is estimated to be hampered, due to high degree of forward integration of manufacturers in the value chain.
