How to Succeed in Medical Device Refurbishment
Refurbishment is a well-established aspect of the global healthcare economy - and it's growing, with the market projected to reach € 17.6 billion by 2025. This includes repairing, reworking, updating and, when needed, replacing devices. Done right, it allows manufacturers to extend the device's lifetime while easing the certification process and assuring a fast return to the market. Done wrong, costs can spin out of control, certification failure becomes a real risk and time-to-market deadlines can be easily missed.
In this webinar, Critical Software will focus on medical devices updates and how to avoid some key issues including:
- Regulations relevant to the refurbishment process and the impact of medical device updates on certification
- How to use legacy code in a refurbishment project and the risks and limitations you should account for
- How to guarantee that updates on UxD won’t jeopardise patients’ safety and certification.
Join us and take your first step towards efficient medical device refurbishment.
