SAMD

Software as a Medical
Device, Demystified

In the US, software with a medical purpose is regulated by the FDA as a medical device, typically via the 510(k) or De Novo pathway. The FDA has built a clear approach to digital health and AI/ML, including Predetermined Change Control Plans (PCCPs) that let you pre-authorise certain software changes.

At Taylored Consultancy Ltd, we make software compliance clear and stress-free. From the right premarket pathway to your software lifecycle and AI change-control plan, we help you meet FDA 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

Premarket Pathway Strategy

We help you determine the right route - 510(k), De Novo, or PMA - and prepare your submission.

Qualification & Software Function Review

We assess whether your software is a regulated device function and how the FDA is likely to treat it.

Software Lifecycle (IEC 62304)

We help you put a compliant software development lifecycle and documentation in place.

Risk Management (ISO 14971)

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

AI/ML & PCCP Support

For AI-enabled software, we help you prepare a Predetermined Change Control Plan so you can update your model within agreed limits, and align with Good Machine Learning Practice.

Label Review

We review your labelling against FDA requirements for software devices.

Establishment Registration, Listing & US Agent

We handle FDA registration and listing, and help foreign manufacturers appoint a US Agent.

QMS Creation (QMSR / ISO 13485)

We help you implement a QMS that meets the FDA QMSR and ISO 13485.
