  • 1.  Guidance document if any for medical device requirements

    Posted 22-Oct-2021 02:18
    Hi All,

    Is there any guidance document to better understand the medical device user requirements down to product requirements and then into sub-system requirements and then finally to verification and validation to make a successful product launch in the market.

    Hello Jayaram

    Yes, there are many.  You might begin with the US FDA Design Control Guidance.  https://www.fda.gov/media/116573/download

    Hello Jayaram,

    As Anne said, there are many including IEC 62366, IEC 62340 (if software), FDA guidance, MHRA guidance, etc.

    There are many. I think all countries have different ones.)

    Try reading FDA's Design Control Guidance For Medical Device Manufacturers, Guidance for Industry, MARCH 1997.  It covers inputs, outputs, verifications, and validations.
