Abstract:
A computer-implemented system is provided for distributing product updates to medical devices. An update interface residing on a distribution platform is configured to distribute product updates and maintain a log of such distributions in an audit database. A configuration device in data communication with the update interface registers itself with the update interface and downloads product updates from the update interface, such that the registration includes providing identifying information for the configuration device and a user of the configuration device. A medical device in data communication with the configuration device registers itself with the configuration device and downloads a particular product update from the configuration device, such that the configuration device creates a record of the particular product update and communications the record of the particular product update to the update interface. In this way, product updates distributed via the configuration device are recorded and tracked for regulatory purposes.
