[Considerations for connector design in mobile and patient-worn medical devices](
"Challenges faced by designers of medical devices are among the most stringent in the world. Everything designed and manufactured must be safe for the patient and safe for the operator. Devices can be put through years of U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) trials, with additional tests in Europe, so reducing the risks associated with any device is paramount in the designer’s approach."
