Quality & Security

Quality, Regulatory and Cybersecurity Thinking from the Start

Quality cannot be inspected into medical device software at the end of development. It must be reflected in requirements, architecture, risk controls, implementation, verification, release and change management.

Depending on the product and target market, EZEN supports work within the client-approved quality system and product-specific regulatory strategy, with experience relevant to:

ISO 13485 quality-management systems

ISO 14971 medical-device risk management

IEC 62304 medical-device software lifecycle processes

IEC 62366-1 usability engineering

IEC 82304-1 health-software product safety

IEC 81001-5-1 secure health-software lifecycle activities

FDA QMSR, software-documentation and cybersecurity expectations

EU MDR and IVDR requirements

HIPAA, GDPR and applicable privacy requirements

DICOM, HL7 and FHIR interoperability standards

EZEN supports the client product-development and regulatory process. Regulatory clearance or approval remains the responsibility of the legal manufacturer and applicable regulatory authorities.
