One of the areas of significant growth in medical devices has been the role of software. It can function as an integral component of a medical device, as a standalone device, or, more recently, as an application on mobile devices.
Unfortunately, it's not always clear what regulations apply to software. Regulatory authorities across the globe have provided little (or confusing) guidance, leaving developers to question: When is software considered a medical device?
In this white paper:
- The IEC 60601 standard and medical device software
- IEC 62304 for stand-alone and component medical device software
- IEC 82304: A dedicated health software system standard
