Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Risk Categorization Under IMDRF Framework

The Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) market is projected to skyrocket from $3.81 billion in 2025 to over $19.58 billion by 2030. But lengthy Regulatory reviews (12–24 months in the US and EU) are stalling innovation.

The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) offers a solution: a standardized, two-dimensional risk categorization framework. This model aligns software risk with clinical impact, considering Healthcare Situation Criticality and Information Significance.

Implementing early IMDRF risk categorization can lead to:

  • 23% success rates for multi-jurisdictional approvals.
  • 6–8 months reduction in approval timelines.
  • 12–18% in cost savings.
