I recently started a company working with another engineer & an
anesthesiologist. Basically we are developing new medical devices along with
medical professionals. I have some questions concerning UL listings and the
like.

For our first projects, we chose more simple devices which wouldn't require
any certifications etc., but now that the ball is rolling we are considering
some more in-depth projects. Basically, I'm curious what we need to do other
than UL listings, etc. Neither I nor my EE partner have our "PEs" yet, so I
know that is going to cause some headaches. Can someone give me a rundown of
problems we could run into? Anything we will tackle in the near future will
be relatively simple. Small, microcontroller based devices, etc.. I know UL
listings are expensive, and take some time, what are the other pros & cons?
Are there any other listings/certifications we need, or that would be
beneficial? Obviously since we will be designing devices which will be used
in the Medical field, liability is a big concern. How can we protect
ourselves in that area?

Thanks for any help!
