Enjoyed listening to this Open Mike session - the HDECs (especially NTA) have considered a number of medical devices over the past couple of years, including SaMDs. Note also the reference in the EHT Chapter of the NEAC Standards which uses a classification risk matrix. Australia has also recently amended its medical device regulations
