2013 International Speakers include
Europe’s Only International, English-Language Software Design Focused Forum For Medical Device Manufacturers
International risk management standard ISO 14971 has been called into question by the European Commission on the grounds of non-compliance with the Medical Device Directive. 60601-1 has had a 3rd revision deemed sometimes so vague that a complimentary document - IEC 62348 – was created to ease the transition, and both 62304 and 62366 are due EU and FDA updates in the next 12 months – it's a wonder anyone manages to stay compliant at all!
Not to worry though, as some individuals from medical device companies put themselves in the line of fire to try to ensure that new standards are logical, thorough and accessible. People like Chuck Sidebottom at Medtronic, or Dave Osborn at Philips, or Ed Israelski at Abbott Labs – and we are very excited to bring them all together at the 3rd Annual SDMD Europe in January 2013.
With a new, in-depth look into compliance and quality issues, as well as the usual popular topics of agile programming methods, new testing/V&V techniques and product usability, international medical device company QA-RA and software professionals have a real must-attend date in the calendar - the only truly international and English-language software development and compliance forum dedicated to medical devices.
