If you have a piece of software as part of your device you must be aware of the regulatory requirements in place to maintain patient safety. Whether it is an app that provides some additional features or specialised software that is critical to the device functionality, you must understand the relevant standards and guidances to ensure compliance.

We interviewed Educo Life Science trainer Richard Young about Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).

In the interview we discuss the following topics:

• Biggest challenges of bringing a software device to market.
• The regulatory issues manufacturers face when gaining CE marking.
• Common mistakes manufacturers make when it comes to software.
