From Engineer To “The IEC 60601 Guy” – Project MedTech Podcast

From engineer to “The IEC 60601 Guy” — my story and practical tips
I joined Duane Mancini on the Project Medtech Podcast to share how I became known for IEC 60601, why the series is a roadmap you can follow, and what 4th Edition changes mean for design, QMS, and documentation.

A quick personal note
Nobody starts at the top as “The IEC 60601 Guy.” My path ran through early days at NASA, many years in test labs, and deep work in standards committees. What stuck with me is simple — stay curious, do the work, and show the work. That’s how we turn a dense standard into a practical plan.

Join me for an Interactive Workshop Identifying Standards, Guidances, & Turn Standards into Your Competitive Advantage @ 10X

Don’t make the 5 costly mistakes companies make with Medical Device Standards. Learn from the IEC 60601 Guy himself.:

Late Identification of Applicable Standards: Leads to expensive redesigns and delayed timelines

Ignoring Expert Standards Guidance: Results in regulatory rejections and costly resubmissions

Unprepared Risk Management File for Testing: Risks unnecessary costs due to lack of strategic planning for compliance.

Unprepared Regulatory Submissions: Leads to costly setbacks and market-entry delays

Underestimating Education and Training: Creates knowledge gaps, increasing errors and compliance risks.

The most valuable asset we each bring to the table is⁉️ Our unique experiences and innovation
