Software Lifecycle

2- Day Training for RA/QA Professionals of the MD Industry

Software Lifecycle (EN 62304)

TBD | May 19-20, 2020 | Register Now!

 

About the training

The standard EN 62304 defines requirements for the life cycle of the development of medical software and for software within medical devices. It applies to the development and maintenance of medical device software when software is itself a medical device or when software is an embedded or integral part of the final medical device.

As software testing cannot prove the correctness of software, software errors (bugs, usability problems) have to be avoided right from the beginning by following software life cycle processes. Software related regulations such as EN 62304 demand from medical device manufacturers to follow these life cycle processes.

The purpose of this course is to provide a clear understanding of how to effectively and efficiently integrate EN 62304 compliance into their software development lifecycle (SDLC).

GMED North America has created a 2-day training session, to equip medical device manufacturers with the right understanding and implementation of the Software Lifecycle (EN 62304) standard.

 During this 2- day course, you will learn:

  • Amendment 1 changes to 62304 (changes to risk and dealing with legacy software)
  • Agile methods for medical device and Health IT software – while remaining compliant!
  • EN 62304 integration Software Risk Management guidance from 80002-1
  • EN 62304 Software Safety Classifications to prioritize rigor and documentation
  • IEC 82304 for Health IT and standalone software and how 62304 training complements
  • Cybersecurity planning, evaluation, and validation
