If a piece of software is designed by the vendor for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, it is regarded as a medical device under the law. That means that the manufacturer must comply with all applicable laws and hence all guidelines set out in the different standards there are. In my blog post, I will describe how the expectations described in the standards and regulations can be presented and grouped to ensure it is possible to examine and document them as part of a larger overall process.
