Is your software a medical device?
The term Software as a Medical Device is defined by the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) as "software intended to be used for one or more medical purposes that perform these purposes without being part of a hardware medical device."

This training is designed as a complete package, not all of it focusses on software as a medical device; the initial courses are designed to introduce the basic principles and concepts of the regulation of medical devices, which is needed to fully understand the requirements for software as a medical device.
