METHODOLOGY
The data for this year's survey were obtained from a mail survey designed jointly by MD&DI and Readex Research, Inc. (St. Paul, MN) and conducted by Readex in March and April 1996. Surveys were mailed to 1200 medical device professionals, 627 (52%) of whom provided usable responses.
The survey results are based on the responses of 576 individuals who identified themselves as full-time professionals working for companies that manufacture medical devices or in vitro diagnostics. These individuals were segmented according to the following seven job functions: general and corporate management, marketing, product design engineering, production and manufacturing (including packaging and sterility assurance), QA/QC, regulatory and legal affairs, and research and development.
Another key segmentation that recurs throughout the accompanying article categorizes individuals according to their level of responsibility: CEOs and presidents, vice presidents and directors, department heads and supervisors, and engineers and scientists.
The margin of error for percentages based on the 576 responses is ±4.0% at the 95% confidence level.
