Andrew Kyle - CV

At age 18, began work with PhD students in a University of Texas at Austin EE laboratory that designed plasma guns and magnetic bottles for plasma containment. At age 21 worked for Tracor and Texas Instruments in military product development during my senior year at UT.

Graduated with BSEE with Honors with a biomedical specialization (1st granted by UT Austin)

After graduation, I attended Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston to pursue a PhD. Completed all the course work (#1 out of 16) but declined opportunity to complete dissertation because of subject matter.

After leaving graduate school, I joined Baylor College of Medicine. I worked for a Michael DeBakey team that developed the first computer monitoring EKG system for post-surgical open heart surgery patients in the world. It monitored patient EKGs 24/7 and alerted ICU nursing/physicians if the EKG became unstable for immediate intervention. These systems were used on the most critical patients.

The NIH grant was completed and I joined Life-Tech. Life-Tech was founded about 1974. I was a founder and part-owner. During my 23 years there, I had development responsibilities, often ran the company, was promoted to Vice President of Engineering, Secretary of the Board of Director, and Executive Vice President. During several periods, I acted as the President. This company grew to about $14 million at the time I left in about 1997. It was sold about 2013. The focus of this company was electrophysiology. It manufactured Class I, Class II and Class III medical devices and associated sterile consumables. The company divisions were sold about 2013:

Urodynamics division was sold to Laborie Medical

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators were sold to BD

Iontophoretic Applicators and electrodes were sold to WR Medical Electronics Company

Medical Devices developed during tenure with Life-Tech. Please follow the link below to Life-Tech Medical Devices and their 510(k) references. Device submitted and approved before 1997 were authored or co-authored by myself and the Physician CEO.

I left the medical device industry for about 10 years.

First I worked for Telxon. Telxon was about an $800M dollar company. Its major competitor was Symbol. The intertwined history of these two companies can be reviewed at

After Symbol completed its purchase of Telxon, I joined Compaq Computer in Houston in the Enterprise Group. I was a core development team member responsible for all software deliverables for new Server releases for several of the ProLiant Server models. Compaq was purchased by Hewlett-Packard and I survived that merger for a few years but was eventually involved in a major RIF.

I decided to return to medical devices and joined Perkins Electronics (now Perkins Healthcare Technologies) – see the product scope at:

www.perkins-ht.com

Perkins parent is the RP Kincheloe Corporation. It is about a 100 year old company which has been in the radiology business during that time. From about 1960-2000, it was an independent Philips Medical System distributor/service corporation. Philips purchased this large company of over $100M per year. Perkins was a separate company that had been formed to develop and manufactured custom radiological devices that Philips integrated into their systems. It survived the Philips purchase. I was hired to manage the development environment – ensure we had processes to fulfill the FDA requirements and manage the development resources. Another VP of New Product Development focused on product development. He later retired and I assumed both roles. My directive was create new products and the website above is the result of 10 years of effort. We transitioned from B-2-B to B-2-C. I managed all these devices and when necessary, submitted the 510(k) documents to the FDA. MD Vision (2010) was the last Class II device we had to submit. The focus was video and its conversion, recording, management, integration and distribution.

Its FDA listed devices can be viewed at
