About
The event is held in Czech language only!
This introductory webinar on software in healthcare is designed as a basic guide primarily for manufacturers, developers, and regulatory specialists who wish to gain confidence in the application of regulatory requirements arising from European legislation (MDR, IVDR). The presentation will clearly explain the qualification and definition of software in the field of medical devices and will guide participants in detail through the correct application of qualification and classification rules, including the use of the MDCG 2019-11 guidance document. We will also clarify under which circumstances software used in healthcare is not considered a medical device.
A significant portion will then be devoted to general strategies and parameters of the conformity assessment process, utilizing relevant technical standards and key MDCG documents. Within this section, we will also focus on a practical approach to such a process, whether in the context of risk management, clinical evaluation, or post-market activities. The presentation will also include examples from the field of telemedicine to clarify relevant strategies in this area.
