Executive Summary
SOFTWARE QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FORMED BY VOLUNTARY TASK FORCE will be considered by FDA as a possible template for 510(k)s for Class II medical software. At a March 27 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation meeting on device software, a 17-person informal task force was formed to draft a proposal that could lead to an internationally supported, risk-based device software quality standard. FDA plans to look into giving software manufacturers the option to use third-party certification of compliance with the standard as a basis for 510(k) clearance.
