Course Overview

 

Medical device software is evolving and growing exponentially. An increasing number of devices contain software as part of their makeup. Getting a software device to market and then maintaining it is extremely challenging. Once developed software is constantly changing to stay up to date with the latest operating systems or security issues. Notified Bodies and Regulators want to see how you are maintaining a high-quality product that puts the end user’s safety first.

 

This training course will provide you with solutions to the regulatory challenges you face when working with software as a medical device. Once completed, you will have the knowledge to know what must be done to meet Notified Body/ Regulatory requirements. You will briefly touch on aspects unique to software in major regulatory/development areas such as clinical evaluations, investigations, labelling, post market surveillance and risk management.
