AI System Classification and Risk Assessment
We assess your AI system under the AI Act framework, including classification as a high-risk AI system, which applies to most AI-enabled medical devices.
AI Compliance Strategy and Gap Analysis
We evaluate your current processes against AI Act requirements and define a structured path to compliance.
Data Governance and Model Validation
We support the implementation of data quality, dataset management, and validation processes, ensuring reliable and unbiased AI performance.
Algorithm Transparency and Explainability
We help ensure your AI systems meet requirements for transparency, traceability, and interpretability.
Human Oversight and Risk Management
We design and implement mechanisms for human oversight, ensuring AI outputs can be monitored and controlled in clinical environments.
Technical Documentation and Conformity Support
We prepare and structure AI Act-compliant technical documentation, which can be integrated into your existing regulatory documentation.
Lifecycle and Post-Market Monitoring
We establish processes for continuous monitoring, performance evaluation, and incident reporting throughout the lifecycle of your AI system.
Strategic Value of AI Act Compliance
Access to the EU Market
Compliance with the AI Act is required for placing AI systems on the EU market.
Improved Trust and Transparency
The regulation ensures that AI systems are reliable, explainable, and safe to use.
Reduced Risk and Liability
Structured risk management and monitoring reduce both regulatory and operational risks.
Future-Proof Product Development
Early alignment with AI Act requirements ensures readiness for upcoming enforcement timelines.
Competitive Advantage in HealthTech
Compliant and trustworthy AI solutions strengthen your position in regulated healthcare markets.
AI Act Requirements for Medical Devices
AI-enabled medical devices must comply with both the AI Act and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). These frameworks operate together and must be addressed as part of a unified regulatory strategy.
Under the AI Act, most AI-based medical devices are classified as high-risk AI systems, introducing additional requirements that extend beyond traditional MDR obligations.
Key requirements include
Risk Management and Quality Systems
AI systems must include continuous risk management processes that address AI-specific risks such as bias, model drift, and performance variability. These requirements build on existing MDR quality management principles.
Data Governance and Validation
Training, validation, and testing datasets must be relevant, representative, and properly managed. Strong data governance is a core requirement under the AI Act and plays a critical role in ensuring reliable performance.
Transparency and Human Oversight
AI systems must be designed so that outputs are understandable and traceable. In addition, appropriate mechanisms for human oversight must be implemented, particularly in clinical use.
Technical Documentation Integration
AI-specific elements such as model design, training data, performance metrics, and limitations must be documented and integrated into the existing MDR technical file.
Post-Market Monitoring and Change Management
AI systems require continuous performance monitoring after market entry. Updates to models must be controlled and may require additional regulatory assessment if not predefined.
In practice, compliance is achieved by extending existing MDR processes to include AI-specific requirements, allowing for a coordinated and efficient regulatory approach.
