<td colspan="2">Cancer cells often break free from
their original locations and circulate through the
bloodstream, allowing them to form new tumors
elsewhere in the body. Detecting these cells could
give doctors a new way to predict whether
patients' tumors will metastasize, or monitor how
they are responding to treatment, but finding
these rare cells has proven challenging. A team of
engineers from MIT, Penn State University, and
Carnegie Mellon University is developing a novel
way to isolate these cells: using sound waves to
separate them from blood cells. </td>

<td colspan="2"><strong>Managing Risk in Medical
Connectors</strong><br>
<br>
New regulations call for manufacturers to document
risks associated with their devices. In this free
white paper, Fischer Connectors' Patrick Kinyanjui
helps you understand how these regulations apply
to interconnect solutions, so you can adjust your
business plans and maintain your competitive edge.

sensors that allow you to move in the hospital bed
or around the room in comfort. Once past the
critical recovery stage, you may leave early if
you take the sensors with you so that healthcare
providers can monitor your vital statistics
transmitted via a wireless hub connected to your

such a scenario may become the norm for

how do medical device companies ensure we get
