Medical device software - Software life-cycle processes

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. Applies 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. This standard does not cover validation and final release of the medical device, even when the medical device consists entirely of software.

Medizingeräte-Software - Software-Lebenszyklus-Prozesse

Logiciels de dispositifs médicaux - Processus du cycle de vie du logiciel

Définit les exigences du cycle de vie des logiciels de dispositifs médicaux. L'ensemble des processus, activités et tâches décrit dans la présente norme constitue un cadre commun pour les processus du cycle de vie des logiciels de dispositifs médicaux. S'applique au développement et à la maintenance des logiciels de dispositifs médicaux lorsque le logiciel est un dispositif médical ou lorsque le logiciel est incorporé ou fait partie intégrante du dispositif médical final. La présente norme ne couvre pas la validation et la mise sur le marché du dispositif médical, même lorsque le dispositif médical est intégralement constitué du logiciel.

Programska oprema za medicinske aparate – Procesi v življenjskem ciklu programske opreme (IEC 62304:2006)

Ta standard določa zahteve glede življenjskega cikla programske opreme za medicinske aparate. Nabor procesov, dejavnosti in opravil, opisanih v tem standardu, tvori skupno ogrodje za procese v življenjskem ciklu programske opreme za medicinske aparate. Ta standard se uporablja za razvoj in vzdrževanje programske opreme za medicinske aparate. Ta standard se lahko uporablja, kadar je programska oprema sama po sebi medicinskiaparat ali je vgrajen/sestavni del končne medicinskega aparata.
