Software as a Medical Device: What Matters in Embedded Software<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>Embedded systems vary widely, ranging from small systems with tiny microcontrollers and specialized runtime environments to large systems with full system-on-a-chip technologies and Embedded Linux. This diversity requires a wide range of tools and software stacks, each with its own specific characteristics<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
What does embedded software consist of?<\/h3><\/h3><\/div>Embedded systems often consist not just of one microprocessor, but of a series of processors with different tasks:<\/p>\n<\/div>

Safety Classes in IEC 62304<\/h3><\/h3><\/div>IEC 62304 defines safety classes for medical software to ensure the safety and conformity of medical devices. Classification is based on factors such as the potential risk to patients and operators. A thorough risk assessment is the starting point for assigning the appropriate safety class. Safety classes range from A (low risk) to C (high risk). Choosing the correct class influences the entire development process, from documentation to validation. It is crucial to understand and meet the requirements for each class to ensure safety and compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
