MDSW can fall under either MDR or IVDR. Technical documentation should be prepared accordingly. You can utilise our MDSW technical documentation checklist below to evaluate if your TD is in line with MDR.
Below is the checklist to provide understanding of the requirements and structure of MDR-compliant technical documentation for Medical Device Software. Simply scroll down to access the checklist.
Fill out the Device field, check the checkboxes for available documents and N/A boxes for documents that do not apply to your device and print out or create a PDF-document.
