Comparative discussion of model strengths and weaknesses.

Main Results:

A range of PDP models exist for medical devices, varying in complexity and focus.
Model representation (e.g., graphical, textual) impacts usability.
No single model is universally optimal; adaptation is key.

Conclusions:

Selecting the right product development process (PDP) model is critical for medical device innovation.
Developers should consider model representation and usability for effective implementation.
Tailoring PDP models to specific project needs enhances efficiency and success.
