Online Training On Medical Device Software 62304 Compliance

Overview

This webinar will focus on medical devices, IEC 62304, and what is required for compliance.

Medical devices can use very complex software applications, and any failure to function properly could lead to potential injury or death of a consumer or patient.

There is a need to improve overall standards for medical device software to account for this high risk potential.

The majority of software recalls in the 1990s were due to software defects that were a result of software being upgraded.

There is a need to restructure medical device software development processes, and adopting IEC 62304 provides a standard for design that is accepted in the United States (US) and European Union (EU).

IEC 62304 is a risk-based approach to compliance that ensures the standards followed are appropriate for their potential assessed risk.

IEC 62304 is a lifecycle approach that defines the activities and tasks required to ensure software for medical devices will be safe and reliable.

Applying IEC 62304 will reduce your overall rate of software failure and improve your bottom line.
