FAQs

Is my software a medical device?

To determine if your software qualifies as a medical device, consider the following points:

Intended Use, Regulatory Definitions, Functional Claims, Risk and Impact.

1. Intended Use

Regulators assess whether your software is designed to diagnose, prevent, monitor, treat, or alleviate a medical condition.

2. Regulatory Definitions

Different regulatory bodies have specific definitions for medical devices. Reviewing their criteria is essential to determine compliance requirements for your software.

3. Functional Claims

If your software claims to analyze, interpret, or provide recommendations for medical conditions, it is more likely to be considered a medical device. However, general wellness applications that do not impact diagnosis or treatment may not fall under this category.

4. Risk and Impact

Regulators evaluate the potential risk to patients if the software malfunctions or provides inaccurate results.
