Software
as a
Medical Device (SaMD)

Challenge

Develop medical innovations without the risk of costly regulatory errors

Creating an innovative algorithm, therapeutic application, or AI system supporting diagnostics is just the first step. The real challenge is translating technology into a safe product that meets the stringent quality, safety, and documentation requirements necessary to enter the market.

 

As a team certified in ISO 13485, we design and develop Software as a Medical Device in accordance with IEC 62304 and MDR requirements. We manage projects from regulatory analysis and system architecture to complete technical documentation prepared for CE certification or FDA requirements.

 

You create a medical solution. We help safely bring it to market readiness.

What most often blocks the development of SaMD products?

Regulatory barrier

A great technological product can get stuck if it doesn't consider the requirements specific to medical devices from the start.

Product classification

It's not always clear whether and how the solution falls under MDR and what formal obligations it entails.

Risk of errors

Improperly conducted QA process documentation delays certification and creates unnecessary pressure before the audit.

Costly changes

Poorly designed architecture or lack of traceability often means the need to rebuild the product just before market entry.
Service scope

Comprehensive support in the development of Software as a Medical Device

We combine software engineering with experience in medical projects and certified quality processes. This ensures smoother, more predictable product development without unnecessary formal risk.

Regulatory analysis and product classification

We determine the SaMD status, analyze intended use, product classification, and standard requirements and certification path. This way, your team knows from the start what requirements the product must meet and avoids wrong design decisions.

Architecture compliant with IEC 62304

We design the system structure considering safety, ease of validation, and full traceability of changes. This ensures greater predictability of the development process, reduces the risk of costly corrections, and facilitates audit preparation.

Risk analysis and product safety

We identify clinical and technical risks and design control mechanisms at the architecture stage. This way, you reduce the risk of formal and technical issues before they affect the project schedule or budget.

Development in ISO 13485 quality system

We conduct development in a controlled quality environment compliant with ISO 13485, ensuring code quality, version control, and process validation. This gives full control over work progress and greater confidence in passing audits.

Business benefits

Regulatory safety that supports product development

A well-planned compliance process is not a limitation. It is the foundation of stable development and competitive advantage in the demanding medical market.

Solution

Combining technological innovation with compliance requirements from the very beginning of the project significantly shortens the time needed to safely bring software to market (Time-to-Market). Instead of discovering formal issues at a late stage, you build a medical device compliant with audit requirements from the early design stages.

Certified SaMD software also facilitates the process of obtaining funding and building trust among doctors, medical facilities, and business partners. A predictable development process translates into greater stability of product decisions and faster readiness for market entry.

Working based on ISO 13485, IEC 62304, and MDR standards ensures an organized approach to medical software development and reduces risks at every stage of the project. This includes regulatory, technical, and operational issues.

Such an approach minimizes the risk of financial penalties, legal issues, and distribution blockages resulting from non-compliance with requirements. At the same time, it reduces the need for costly architectural changes at a late stage, ensuring greater predictability of budget, schedule, and certification process.

Readiness for global scaling

Architecture and documentation created from the start in accordance with European and American market requirements build a solid foundation for further market expansion.

Why itCraft?

We combine software engineering with healthcare realities

A medical project requires more than good development. It needs a partner who understands regulatory requirements and can translate them into an efficient technological process.

 

Cooperation with us means:

  • Documented experience in healthcare and medtech projects.
  • Certified quality processes confirmed by ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.
  • Compliance with international information security standards.
  • Project teams understanding audit requirements and the specifics of working with notified bodies.
  • Product development without compromises between innovation and compliance.

We help build solutions that are not only functional but genuinely ready to operate in the demanding medical market.

Safe path to certification

Do you have technology with clinical potential but want to avoid mistakes that delay certification and market entry? Let's talk about a process that will allow you to develop your project in accordance with market and regulatory requirements.
