Finding your way through the regulations, standards, and interpretations applicable to health software – particularly software as a medical device (SaMD) – can be daunting as it requires a different approach from other medical devices.

In this two-day, in-person workshop, regulatory experts will explore the current and evolving global regulatory requirements affecting SaMD, how to determine when software is considered regulated as SaMD and how to determine the correct class/classifications under global requirements.

Attendees will learn how to address the numerous challenges in performing risk management/assessment for software by completing required evaluations using practical case studies.
