Medical software manufacturers and manufacturers of medical devices with integrated software must carefully consider the regulatory framework and new regulatory requirements to be able to put their software on the market.

While some regions have still not adopted regulations for medical device software, both the EU and the FDA have requirements for medical software and software as a medical device that rival those of traditional medical device regulations.

If a non-conformance is identified, the logical course of action is containment of the products that may have that issue. This is also part of the preventive measure. However, while the issue is being "corrected", the preventive measure also demands that the root cause of the issue is analyzed, which then requires analysis of the whole system or part of the system.
