This workshop — chaired by internationally renowned expert Fubin Wu — has been specifically designed to provide attendees with industry best practices to achieve compliance and effectively assure medical device software safety.

In fact, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn how the FDA expects manufacturers to manage the risks of medical devices that contain software.

In two days of intensive sessions, attendees will be brought up to date on the FDA's latest research on medical device software best practices, software risk management related standards and guidances and key success factors for effective software risk management.

Plus, in a special bonus, attendees will find out more about assurance levels and what it will take to convince regulators in one of seven invaluable case studies, always a popular and valuable way to learn.

Spread throughout the course will be lessons in applying these key software risk management related standards and guidances to the software development processes:

• ISO 14971:2007 and EN ISO 14971:2012, IEC 62304 Medical Device Life Cycle Process, IEC TR 80002-1 Application of ISO 14971 for Software 
• FDA Guidance on Mobile Medical Applications, Cybersecurity in Medical Devices, Infusion Pump Total Product Life Cycle

During each teaching session, Mr. Wu will share techniques and best practices on how to:

• identify software related risks 
• identify software risk control and mitigation measures 
• assess and evaluate risk contributed/caused by software (premarket and post-market field issues)
