Episode 40: Qualification of Medical Tools
In the development of modern medical procedures and devices, and especially those that directly affect a person’s health, the safety of software tools needs to be paramount. In this episode Dr. Oscar Slotosch shares his insights into the topic of qualification for medical devices, including the current requirements and processes defined by safety standards and governmental agencies, as well as the future developments we can expect in the field of medical tools. A short summary of the discussed safety standards for the medical field can be found here (in German), and an example of the tool qualification programs supported by the FDA can be accessed on this webpage.
