-* ["The Current Status of Cardiac Pacemaker Systems and On-going Design Innovations."](https://www.amazon.com/Current-Cardiac-Pacemaker-Systems-Innovations-ebook/dp/B083ZSC9K9)  This article will discuss the current status of cardiac pacemaker devices, including material related to the ongoing development of pacemaker systems, such as the main cardiac pacemaker device, programming of current devices and pacemaker leads. The functioning of a cardiac pacemaker system is achieved through the use of a programming system. Each company has usually developed their own programming systems in order to verify the programming parameters, e.g. Pulse Width (ms), Sensitivity (mV), refractory blanking period and amplitude in order to modify specific pacemaker parameters as required. Any modifications in the cardiac pacing parameters are supervised by an EP cardiologist. A sample template for recording any pacemaker parameter modifications which I have developed is presented in the APPENDIX section.

+* ["Working with Health Care Facilities and or Health Insurance Providers."](https://www.amazon.com/Working-Health-Facilities-Insurance-Providers-ebook/dp/B083GF3C46)  The responsibilities of the medical device expert are extremely challenging and require knowledge of several different areas. The expertise required by an expert varies, based on whether he/she is consulting health care facilities, liability attorneys (either for the plaintiff or defendant side) or health insurance providers.
+Some of the matters on which Experts are required to provide expertise include cybersecurity risks associated with various technological innovations, the effects that these threats have on patient safety, FDA regulatory protocols including premarket approvals and FDA design controls, other medical device regulatory bodies where the device is marketed (e.g. the United Kingdom or Canada), good design practices for all types of medical practice, expertise in the research and development of medical devices, and the proper use of medical devices.
+The Expert Witness may be required to develop a written report, which should be based on a rigorous engineering analysis of the device, complete understanding and critical analysis of issues related to cybersecurity vulnerabilities/issues which may affect electronic medical record systems, medical emergency system alerts primarily used in critical care settings, knowledge of proper functioning of the device and all recent IT system updates, as they relate to the potential cause(s) of a device or system failure which poses risk to the safety of the patient or has not provided the appropriate therapy for which it had been designed.
