    Hi everyone, 

    I am trying to find any sort of information about the EU classification of a product that is a flow cytometry software analyser that uses AI, an example would be aiforia. Such products are on the market and most - if not all - of them have only complied with the FDA's CFR Part 11. 

    I am trying to find out what would be the classification and regulatory requirements of such product in Europe.

    Any lead would be appreciated.

    Software only, no hardware?  If it has a specific medical purpose, 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostics could apply. Otherwise, possibly

    2009/24 computer programs directive

    2000/31 e-commerce directive

    2019/770 digital services

    2016/679 general data protection

    2011/83 consumer rights directive
