Purpose This standard defines the life cycle requirements for medical
device software. The set of
– processes,
– activities, and
– tasks
described in this standard establishes a common framework for
medical device software life cycle processes.
Field of This standard applies to:
Application – the development and maintenance of medical device
software,
– to the development and maintenance of medical device software
when software is itself a medical device or when software is an
embedded or integral part of the final medical device,
– does not cover validation and final release of the medical device,
even when the medical device consists entirely of software.

Key Concepts

Software Safety
Classification
Navigation
Software safety class for Software System and Software Items according
to the possible effects on the patient, operator, or other people resulting
from a HAZARD to which the SOFTWARE SYSTEM can contribute.
Class A: No injury or damage to health is possible
Class B: Non-SERIOUS INJURY is possible
Class C: Death or SERIOUS INJURY is possible

Segregation of critical SW
Class A clear communication interfaces helps
SW
for rationale
Processor 2 cluster critical SW
Class C
SW Middle grained approach for item
Processor 1 to fine gets impractical
to coarse gets in trouble with SOUP
