Is My Software a Medical Device?

This page reserves the structure for Pacific Access Medical’s future interactive software assessment. It does not currently collect answers or generate a regulatory outcome.

Planned question flow

Five stages from product concept to the next regulatory question

The structure separates medical-device status from exclusions, exemptions and classification so that visitors do not mistake one answer for the complete pathway.

  1. 01

    Intended purpose

    Describe the product, user, patient population, medical purpose and claims.

  2. 02

    Software functions

    Identify inputs, analyses, outputs, recommendations and any connected medical devices.

  3. 03

    Clinical influence

    Consider who acts on the output and the potential consequence of an incorrect result.

  4. 04

    Exclusions and exemptions

    Screen for relevant software exclusions and the limited CDSS exemption.

  5. 05

    Indicative next question

    Receive a cautious pathway prompt—not a regulatory determination or classification certificate.
