A new EFOMP Working Group: Software as a Medical Device in Medical Physics

Publication Date: Jul 16th, 2024 10:59, Category: EFOMP Announcements

EFOMP hereby announces a new Working Group (WG) entitled “Software as a Medical Device in Medical Physics” The rationale behind this WG is that not many publications have appeared so far in the literature on the implementation of EU MDR 2017/745 in clinical practice. The Regulation is not always clear to interpret and many grey areas remain. European guidelines are needed to facilitate its clinical integration. EFOMP can help users by creating awareness and proposing the homogenisation of current practice and national recommendations.

The proposed chair of the WG is Christina Zacharatou (IRL) and the expected outcome is a publication in the European Journal of Medical Physics to summarise current practices in developing in-house software by medical physicists for clinical use, and how the MDR2017/745 has impacted hospitals in different European countries. The full WG proposal can be found here.

The term for accepting nominations is from 11th of July and 26th of August 2024. Nominations must be made electronically using this google form.
