Medical Devices Security: the role of fuzz testing
When to comply with the FDA’s security requirements
If your company plans to sell a medical device on the US market, it must comply with the FDA’s requirements.
When developing a new medical device and seeking market approval
If the company is not compliant with the requirements, it risks failing the submission for market approval and not getting clearance for the US market. Resubmission implies extra costs and can take months.
When already selling devices on the US market
Medical device manufacturers undergo regular audit checks. If an auditor notices a nonconformity with any of the requirements, the company needs to resolve the nonconformity within a certain timeframe. Download the white paper to learn more.
