Software Development for Medical Device Manufacturers
A comprehensive online course – 180 days to access course
Developing software in compliance with FDA, EU regulations and international standards is challenging. This comprehensive 4+ hour online course provides practical guidance and suggestions for developing software that complies with applicable FDA and EU regulations, FDA Guidance documents and international standards such as IEC 62304 and ISO 14971. The focus of this course is interpreting FDA Design Controls for software. Each section of the Design Controls regulation (21 CFR Part 820.30) is discussed from the software perspective. Corresponding requirements from IEC 62304 are woven into the discussion.
In-depth discussion of critical topics such as Requirements, Software Verification & Validation, Risk Management and Fault Tree Analysis are included. In addition, techniques for validating software development tools and software used in Manufacturing and Quality Systems are also discussed.
Comprehensive reference materials are available by requesting a DropBox link.
