Frequently Asked Questions

What is Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)?

Software intended for medical purposes — diagnosis, prevention, monitoring or treatment — that works on its own, without being part of a hardware medical device.

What regulations apply to medical device software in the EU?

The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745), together with standards such as IEC 62304 for the software lifecycle and ISO 14971 for risk management.

What documentation is required for certification?

A full technical file: software requirements and architecture, risk analysis, verification and validation records, usability documentation and post-market surveillance procedures. We prepare it as part of the development lifecycle.

Can you join an existing medical device project?

Yes. We can join at any stage — from planning a new device to preparing documentation and closing gaps in an existing project ahead of certification.
