Does Faststream work on regulated medical devices?
Yes, with design controls, traceability and a documented software lifecycle as engineering inputs from the start. The regulatory strategy is the customer's, and Faststream engineers to it.
INDUSTRY
Healthcare & Medical Devices
In medical devices the regulatory path shapes the architecture, not the other way round. Design controls, traceability, a validated software lifecycle and a submission strategy are engineering inputs from the first week — because retrofitting them into a developed product means developing it again.
WHAT THE SECTOR NEEDS
Where the engineering difficulty sits.
- Design controls — requirements, design inputs and outputs, verification and validation traced end to end.
- Software lifecycle — a documented process appropriate to the safety classification of the software.
- Risk management — hazard analysis that genuinely feeds design decisions rather than documenting them afterwards.
- Data protection — patient data handled under the applicable regime, with residency and retention designed in.
- Identity and access — practitioner and device credentials that hold up to audit.
- Long support horizon — devices in service for many years, with a security maintenance path that lasts.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What engineers ask before they call.
Why does the regulatory path affect architecture?
Because software safety classification, risk controls and verification requirements determine partitioning, the choice between RTOS and Linux, update strategy and the evidence that must be generated alongside the code.
