I do not see anything in the 62304 standard about discontinuing or end of life a software version?? Is there a guidance out there to help with this?
So, we manufacture medical devices. They are operated through software we design and code. This same version of software runs our whole family of medical devices. When we made a change to one of the devices, so we had to make changes to the software. It was determined to increase the version level of the software from version 7 to version 8. So basically version 7 is obsolete and no further upgrades would be made to it. There was not an end of life for the medical device product.
So I would believe there needs to be some report about ending maintenance on version 7 software. Anyone else run into this?
Thanks
