Medical Device Technical Documentation In 5 Minutes: Formwork Product Templates
When we learn to code, we learn by looking at example code on GitHub. Why don't we have examples for medical device technical documentation? Probably because people don't share them.
But today we do. Check out Formwork, our eQMS which now comes bundled with example technical documentation - we call them product templates.

Introduction To Understanding Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) For Medical Devices
Thanks for your videos! I'm new to this kind of regulatory documentation, but your content helps me out a lot :) I'm just curious about the conclusion here: Obviously, your video points out that shipping your Jira/trello/whatever tickets / Github issues & PR discussions etc. as documentation for your medical software is not an option. But both can still be done in parallel right? an Agile board / issue tracker for developers, and the documentation for regulation. I mean taking your example here, a milestone could be added to the basecamp ticket, and the output of that ticket would not only be to perform the change in the software, but also to update the documentation accordingly..? In a previous project, each issue had a checklist that needed to be fulfilled for that particular issue to be closed: 1. Provide possible solutions + chosen solution for the fix 2. Implement the fix 3. Provide 100% test coverage 4. Update project requirements Then the next release in which the fix is implemented matches the project documentation. Would this workflow work?
Hey, yeah sure, that's possible! I've seen this "two-project-setup" done a few times. The question then, however, becomes: If you're using a second "project" for your regulatory documentation, why do it in the same tool (e.g. Jira) which is a super-generic tool and objectively sucks for this sort of task? You'd be better off using some sort of specialized software for this instead; so, for your documents, you'd look for an eQMS, and for your requirements and tests, you'd look for a requirements management software. I'm obviously super biased here as we developed a product which achieves exactly this (Formwork, openregulatory.com/formwork) - but, still trying to be somewhat objective here, these are your options: 1) Use Jira / Confluence / any other generic tool: It's possible, but you'll spend quite some time setting it up. You'll probably have to re-read the standards a few times to see what sort of "data models" you have to set up and how to link them with one another. Versioning becomes a huge concern because you essentially need to be able to pull out your documentation for "historic version X" of your software; this is non-trivial in most tools as humanity hasn't invented a versioned SQL database yet (chuckle). So you'll probably have to create a "messy bunched-up zip-file" which contains your data export for each medical device version you release. This is how companies do it with Jira / Confluence at least. 2) You use a specialized tool and all the above pain goes away. There are drawbacks though, too: You're dealing with another tool which your team might not be accustomed to, and obviously it's an additional expense. Hope it helps!
Sehr gut, danke.
In some cases, you may find a "pure" ISO standard that does NOT have a corresponding EN ISO standard. In this case, the EVS pricing for the "pure" ISO standard is similar to the higher ISO standard prices you will find from other standards bodies and standards resellers.
A quick comment (correction) that even further supports acquiring standards from EVS. The lower-priced standards sold by EVS are not the "pure" ISO versions - instead, they are "EN ISO" standards that include the ISO standard inside and also include bonus material applicable to European regulations. The bonus information are called "Z" Annexes that correlate the clauses of the standard to the corresponding General Safety and Performance Requirements (Annex I) of the Europe MDR and IVDDR.
Hello Oliver, you mentioned that it is ok (desirable) to overwrite old records with new records. That has not been my experience in my many years of designing, running and auditing medical device quality systems. From my perspective, all records should be dated and saved "forever". It is normal to have new records but I would not want to overwrite an older record with a newer record. Perhaps you can clarify your meaning?
Not our experience, and we also passed many audits. Where do your requirements come from?
I agree that EVS (Estonia national standard body) is the most affordable source in the world for "EN ISO" versions [or "EN" versions associated with IEC standards - not called EN IEC typically - weird]. But please note that their prices for the "ISO" only versions of standards is similar to other standards bodies and resellers. So buy EN ISO or EN (IEC) standards from EVS and you get the ISO/IEC version inside the document and also get informative European Z Annexes that map the clauses of the standard to the corresponding European medical device regulations, formerly the European Directives.
Very wholesome tutorial. I love this feature! Thank you.
Great content; thanks!
can this SW create test cases with already available requirement document? so can we upload our own req. document and it can generate module test cases or system level test cases?
Yes. You can sign up for a free trial and see whether it works for your use case :)
Great to see promotion of EVS - simple and relatively easy to use, they don't over-sell themselves and spam you with emails. Software restrictions like 'FileOpen' are overburdening, particularly for smaller companies and start-ups. EVS also offer free tracking/notification for new standards - you just need an account and don't have to buy the standard beforehand. I think other companies charge for similar services.
Oliver you are a legend. what do you think of a similar idea using a Modern Requirements plugin in DevOps for example?
Hey, thanks for your kind words! :) I mean, DevOps + Modern Requirements will work for all the reasons a Confluence / Jira + plugins setup will work, and it will suck for all the same reasons the Confluence / Jira setup sucks, too. So.. it's kinda up to you. Some quick notes: - The Jira plugins seem to be more affordable, e.g. SoftComply has mostly-transparent pricing, while Modern Requirements has "request a quote" secret pricing (which I find very shady). - It'll still probably need some "glue" and a person in your team who maintains this. I guess it'll boil down to how much you really want to use DevOps for your requirements management. My gut feeling would be that small teams shouldn't go for this sort of custom approach, because you can't sacrifice 1+ engineer working full time on this sort of stuff. Larger teams which might be more coupled to DevOps might be able to do this, though. Stil.. maximum productivity would be to keep project management and regulatory documentation tools separate.
@@openregulatory thanks a lot, this was very useful (though I was mostly looking for confirmation that it's generally a bad idea as you detailed with Jira.)
@@drmanhattan71 Haha oh alright, I was trying to be diplomatic. Yes, DevOps for regulatory documentation probably sucks just as much as Jira 😄

Nice job
Could your software take existing documentation and rewrite it - simplify and correct ?
Theoretically yes, but it's not a feature we've built yet. Happy to look into it! :)
Does framework integrate with jira, so if you raise a ticket within jira can it link into framework
Good question! We decided not to integrate with Jira because it doesn't increase the efficiency of creating your regulatory documentation. Check out this article on our website to understand why and which mistakes to avoid: openregulatory.com/qms-software-jira-github-gitlab-integration-mistake/
Have you found a perfect way for Agile to work with 62304 yet?
Unfortunately not, but I don't think any other human on this planet has found a solution to this yet, haha..
@@openregulatory thank you for getting back to me. Agile seems to be partly a fashionable and buzz word expected in practice from cutting edge developers.
Will the AI do its own literature search for writing a scientific article in the style of Nature Immunology, or do I need to input a bibliography?
Currently our AI features only draft your software requirements and tests. For your clinical evaluation which most likely includes citing scientific articles, you're on your own.. for now :)
Thank you for this information How can we obtain the forms for the internal audit of the quality management system and all of you for the management review

Sure AI can do it
I noticed that you entered the version for jQuery as 3.4.1, however in the package.json it's ^3.4.1, which is 3.4.1 or above. Will this cause issues come audit time?
Good find! And nope, I don't think this will cause any issues. It's highly unlikely that your auditor knows jQuery and/or the versioning scheme in package.json files. SOUP documentation right now is not very useful on a technical level anyway (as e.g. you only need to include first-level dependencies). Also, most auditors don't have much software experience. Well, maybe with mainframes and punch cards..
You guys should add an upload feature, wherein you can upload doc files or xls files and they are automatically converted into documents on your site. Making/Copying the entire document on your site again is unnecessary.
That's a good point! But too complex for now (converting Word to Markdown sounds like hell). It's arguably a feature for enterprise customers who already have a QMS in place and want to migrate to Formwork. For now, we're not interested in enterprise customers.
Thanks for sharing this! A question: any first level dependency depends on a number of second level ones, and those on more dependencies and so on. Any mid-sized rails project can have a few hundred dependencies when you sum all up, and it gets way uglier if you take the node route ... ... are all those considered SOUP? I mean, why would they not be considered as such? Of course, if first level SOUP as you describe is pain, a positive answer to that question would mean insurmountable unbearable agonizing pain. There is probably lower levels in hell to the one when you get to list all the requirements of your node_modules folder ... but not many :) So, what do you think?
Hey David, that's a great question which actually has come up many times in our consulting! I should have answered it in the video, haha.. The TLDR is that you only have to document first-level dependencies, i.e., for rails, what's in your Gemfile (and not what's in your Gemfile.lock). Does this make sense? Probably not. Does SOUP documentation make sense? Probably also not. Do regulators understand SOUP? Let's just say an auditor recently asked me "what SOUP actually was" and I explained it to them, haha..
@@openregulatory thanks a lot for your response, Oliver! Just plain regular pain it is then :) Yeah, I agree that makes zero sense and total sense, both at the same time :) On a sad note, I think that renders this SOUP thing quite useless (I can understand the original intended sense of it).
@@openregulatory what happens if it goes high or medium risk?
Very informative.
Regarding the anomaly list: I believe it is enough to filter the list for entries for bugs, which is usually possible using labels or other filter operations.
You are a gentleman and a scholar
Indeed!
