Focusing on Traceability in Software Development for Safe Medical Devices

On Demand:
Duration:
1 hour

Overview

The IEC 62304 standard was developed to address safety concerns triggered by the rising number of devices in the medical industry that use software. Checking each stage of software development to help create a functionally safe medical device is plain common sense, but the collation of evidence of compliance with the standard itself can be a real headache.

Traceability is key to the success of medical device approval, and yet too often it tends to be a background task. This webinar explains why making traceability the focal point of your development efforts from the beginning of development and throughout the project lifecycle can help ensure that the collation of evidence becomes second nature rather than a secondary overhead.

Join QNX Software Systems and LDRA for this web seminar as we offer insights using examples from our experience with safe systems, not only in the medical devices sector, but also in other fields.

Estimated length:

1 hour, including Q & A.

Who should attend:

The seminar is intended for design managers and engineers, product and project managers and software developers and engineers in companies planning to design and build equipment for the healthcare and medical market as well as safe systems in other markets.
