Seminar "Medical Device Software"

Learning objectives

Are you responsible for the development or quality management of medical device software, either for (embedded) medical device software or for (stand-alone) software as a medical device (SaMD)? Is an audit pending? If so, you should attend the seminar! Here's how you will benefit from the seminar:

• Regulatory foundations: You know the relevant standards, laws, regulations and directives
• Process models: You will learn how to keep agile software development compliant with standards and laws
• IEC 62304 and FDA: You will be able to create lean and concise documentation meeting the requirements of IEC 62304 and of the FDA
• SOUP and legacy software: You will know how to comply with IEC-62304 regulations when selecting, integrating and documenting software of third parties or dealing with legacy software
• Risk management: You will understand the interaction of risk management (according to ISO 14971) on the one hand and IEC 62304 respectively FDA requirements on the other hand. This includes the determination of "software safety classes" respectively "levels of concern" and segregation of software  systems and components
• Quality management: You will be given a heads-up to streamline your quality management system and to master your audit.

This seminar is a concise introduction into the topics of development, quality assurance and approval of medical software (stand-alone software or medical device software). It especially addresses everyone aiming at getting a quick and comprehensive overview of the following topics.

Paramount of this seminar is practical relevance. Participants will learn how to quickly fulfill requirements (e.g. IEC 62304, FDA) without creating a QM bureaucracy.

The lectures are alternating with case studies and exercises. We limit the maximum number of participants to 16 to ensure learning success and having enough time to respond to individual questions.

Comments of Previous Participants

• "Prof. Johner stands out significantly due to his "passion for presenting and teaching". Accordingly, the atmosphere during the seminar is good. Sensitization for the complex (and potentially far-reaching!) topic iswell done all round. The seminar will be compulsory for all our engineers romping around the medical devices environment. In addition, I'm looking forward to being further inspired."
