If your company need to file for 510K approval for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) or software enabled medical Devices to the FDA for, this webinar is for you. After waiting for seven or more months to find you’re device approval has been denied because the software section of the submittal is inadequate and not compliant is one of the biggest challenges device companies face today. Medical device companies need to join this webinar to ensure that they know exactly what documentation needs to be prepared and submitted. They will also understand how to warrant that all documentation is prepared appropriately so the software portion of the submittal compliant to IEC 62304 regulations. This will ensure delays of the 510K approval are prevented. This session will give you a good understanding of how the IEC 62304 differs from ISO 13485. It will also cover components of the Software Life-cycle and software validation protocols. Rather than be overwhelmed by continuing to apply paper document methods and approaches to software configuration and validation, it is better to understand what are the practical challenges to the dynamic requirements as devises keep pushing the boundaries of technology and new applications. This will ensure you are not caught off guard by unexpected situations and do not implement requirements haphazardly. Get a complete overview of the imminent changes and their implications, using an innovative approach yet is based upon solid principles and proven practices.
