Device Fit and Classification: When “Commercial” Becomes “Clinical” (Part 3/8)
Have you validated every DHT used in your trial for analytical, clinical, and usability accuracy?
Are you certain of each device’s risk class in all deployment countries?
How do you control firmware and algorithm updates during studies?
Who in your organization owns usability validation and change control?
Would your DHT-derived endpoints survive regulatory scrutiny tomorrow?
The DHT-Ready QMS: Integrating Device, Data, and Clinical Quality into One System (Part 2/8)
Does your QMS include design-history and validation records for every DHT you use?
Are firmware, algorithms, and human-factors results governed under change control?
Can your vendor audits prove ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 compliance?
How do you integrate ALCOA++ and device traceability into your audit system?
Would your QMS withstand an FDA or MDR inspection focused on digital endpoints?
The Shockwave: What the FDA’s DHT Framework Really Means (Part 1/8)
Are your current DHTs validated for analytical, clinical, and usability accuracy?
Who in your organization owns responsibility for device version control?
Would your DHT endpoints withstand an ALCOA++ traceability audit?
Have you mapped classification and importer roles for every deployment country?
Does your QMS integrate ISO 13485 and 14971 for device-level oversight?
