Medical Devices and Technology Seminar 18/05/2011

QNX Software Systems, in partnership with MPC Data and ARM, is hosting a one-day seminar entitled “Medical Devices & Technology: Design for Regulatory Compliance”

June 21, 2011, Hotel NH Muenchen Dornach, Munich, Germany.

June 23, 2011, ARM Ltd, Cambridge, UK

Increased regulatory scrutiny in the approval process and growing complexity of software and hardware technology in the design/development phases are impacting medical device manufactures’ ability to bring new, innovative devices to market within the window required for maximum adoption.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind seminar as our technical experts discuss how the right technology building blocks and planning/best practises for achieving regulatory compliance assist manufactures of medical devices and other safety or security related devices achieve regulatory compliance much sooner, and with far less risk of costly recalls and/or misuse after deployment.

MPC Data has been investing throughout the last several years in its medical and safety critical capabilities and has recently gained accreditation to ISO13485 and we will be presenting on this subject at the event. This is a must attend seminar for those entering the market or wishing to gain further understanding”

MPC Data will be exhibiting a range of QNX demos at the event, including QNX running on Freescale and Texas Instruments ARM based products.

The seminar is being held for design managers and engineers, product and project managers and software developers and engineers in companies planning to design and build electronic equipment for the healthcare and medical market.

Guests will have an opportunity to hear insights from industry thought-leaders, see innovative technology demonstrations and network with colleagues from a variety of companies.
