Navigating the expectations for software products is particularly challenging and requires a different approach from other medical devices. Join us for a review of the current and evolving global regulatory requirements affecting software as a medical device (SaMD). Our expert faculty will address both how to determine when software is considered regulated as SaMD and how to determine correct class/classifications under global requirements. Since performing risk management/assessment for software is generally more challenging, attendees will work through completing required evaluations using practical case studies.
