QNX releases 62304 compliant OS for medical device manufacturers

Building a medical device that meets strict regulatory requirements is a long and sometimes painful process. To help ease the pain (and more importantly, speed up pre-market qualification activities), QNX has released the new QNX Neutrino RTOS for medical devices, which complies with the IEC 62304 standard for medical device software life cycle processes.

If you develop software for medical devices, check out the product overview for the new OS. Then head over to the whitepaper section of the QNX website. You'll find several papers of interest, including:

• Choosing an RTOS for Remote-care Medical Devices
   
• Clear SOUP and COTS Software for Medical Device Development (includes discussion of 62304)
   
• Persistent Publish/Subscribe Messaging in Medical Devices
