This mobile medical apps training will outline the regulatory requirements for medical device software development processes, and the requirements for submissions.

Why Should You Attend:

Developers of medical device cell phone / smart devices apps often find out about the relevant regulatory requirements late in the development process. Then it is very difficult to pull together what is needed to 510(k) FDA market clearance, or to create the technical file needed to get a CE Mark. In addition, most likely the app was not developed under quality system requirements.

This presentation will begin with a brief examination of the definitions and types of mobile platforms and mobile medical applications. Participants will then gain information on current FDA and European requirements for the manufacturers of mobile medical applications and guidance on a regulatory approach to these emerging applications. The instructor will discuss requirements for the software development processes and the artifacts that should be generated during development.

This session will answer all of the following:

• When is a mobile app a medical device?
• What medical device regulations / standards apply to the development of mobile medical apps?
• What should I do, while developing the software, to create what is needed for an FDA submission or an EU technical file? What software development artifacts do I need to have?
• My app is developed and I have no artifacts. How do I get a 510(k)?

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• When is a mobile app a medical device
• When is a mobile device platform a mobile medical device platform
• FDA Guidance: “Mobile Medical Applications”
• Review of quality system requirements from the FDA (QSRs) and the EU (ISO 13485)
• Review of software development standards: ISO 62304 and FDA guidance documents
