Software plays an increasingly important role in both the development and use of medical devices. Do you know if your software qualifies as a medical device and what that entails? After completing the "best practices" training on Development and compliance of medical software according to IEC 62304, you will understand the relevant standards and guidelines and be able to comply with existing laws and regulations.

  • Understand the relevant laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines that apply to your software
  • Gain insight into establishing and maintaining intelligent documentation for this software
  • Learn how to set up a practical development process for software products according to IEC 62304
Managers and employees working in quality assurance, development, project management, or technical documentation (including QA, RA, R&D, PM).
Individuals with a bachelor's degree (HBO) and experience in quality systems and standards related to medical devices, along with proficiency in English.

About the training Development and conformity of medical software according to IEC 62304

Medical equipment often incorporates software, and standalone software for medical applications is increasingly available on the market. Did you know that the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in the EU requires certification via a Notified Body for many software products?

The training on Development and conformity of medical software according to IEC 62304 provides insights into all relevant laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines (such as IEC 62304, IEC 62366, MDR, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971). The practical application of IEC 62304 and MDR requirements is emphasized in this training, including discussions on many best practices, especially for agile software development. After the training, you will be able to determine whether engaging a Notified Body is necessary and establish a practical development process focused on software products.

This training is conducted internally within companies and is a continuation of the courses on CE marking of medical devices and Quality and Risk Management of medical devices. Completion of at least one of these modules is necessary as a prerequisite.
