Software as a Medical
Device, Demystified

When software has a medical purpose, it's a medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU 2017/745). Qualification and classification follow MDCG 2019-11 and Rule 11 - which places most clinical software in Class IIa or above - and the EU AI Act now layers additional obligations onto AI-enabled devices.

At Taylored Consultancy Ltd, we make software compliance clear and stress-free. From qualification and classification to your technical documentation and AI Act readiness, we help you CE mark and meet EU requirements without unnecessary delays.

Clearing the path to market -
regulatory and quality expertise that gets your software safe, compliant, and ready for market.

What We Do

Qualification & Classification

We assess your software against MDCG 2019-11 and Rule 11 to confirm whether it's a medical device and which class applies.

Software Lifecycle (IEC 62304)

We help you put a compliant software development lifecycle in place, with the documentation a Notified Body expects.

Clinical Evaluation

We help you compile clinical evidence and a Clinical Evaluation Report to support CE marking.

Risk Management (ISO 14971)

We build your risk management file, including software and AI/ML-specific risks.

Usability Engineering (IEC 62366-1)

We help you evidence usability and human-factors work for safe use.

EU AI Act Readiness

For AI-enabled devices, we help you understand and prepare for the AI Act obligations that sit alongside EU MDR.

EU Authorised Representative & EUDAMED

Non-EU manufacturers need an EU Authorised Representative and EUDAMED registration. We act as your EC REP and handle registration.

Notified Body Audit Support

We help you prepare for and respond to Notified Body assessment of your technical documentation and QMS.

QMS Creation (ISO 13485)

We help you implement a QMS to ISO 13485, the backbone of software medical device compliance.

No Drama, Just Compliance That Works

Regulations can feel like a headache, but they don't have to be. We make sure you're covered, compliant, and ready to sell - without unnecessary delays or legal pitfalls.
