Majority of the recent FDA recalls are software related. Perhaps most striking is the fact that one-third faced multiple recalls. It is a reminder that recalls can happen to any company—especially as more and more companies turn to complex software technologies. While most standards are helpful, they can be considered only minimum requirements where self-interest prevails. Even in healthcare where compliance to standards is at highest level, many patients die from errors in software designs, usually blamed on user errors. Understanding how mishaps can happen before they happen and preventing them by design is the key. Validation and testing for safety and reliability helps in achieving the ultra high software trustworthiness.
Course Objective:
The legal system, The FDA, and the European standards require the device to be safe as long as it is in use. Therefore high reliability is an obvious requirement. Besides, it is a value proposition for the business: zero warranty costs, safe customers, more loyal customers, and more sales.
The FDA reviews the results of the performance tests during pre-market approvals, and in complaint investigations. Therefore a thorough understanding of designing device for reliable and safe performance is critical for efficient business strategy.
