ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: to develop a procedure for registering changes, notifying users about changes made, unifying software as a medical device based on artificial intelligence technologies (SaMD-AI) changes, as well as requirements for testing and inspections-quality control before and after making changes.
METHODS: The main types of changes, divided into two groups-major and minor. Major changes imply a subsequent change of a SaMD-AI version to improve efficiency and safety, to change the functionality, and to ensure the processing of new data types. Minor changes imply those that SaMD-AI developers can make due to errors in the program code. Three types of SaMD-AI testings are proposed to use: functional testing, calibration testing or control, and technical testing.
RESULTS: The presented approaches for validation SaMD-AI changes were introduced. The unified requirements for the request for changes and forms of their submission made this procedure understandable for SaMD-AI developers, and also adjusted the workload for the Experiment experts who checked all the changes made to SaMD-AI.
CONCLUSION: This article discusses the need to control changes in the module of SaMD-AI, as innovative products influencing medical decision making. It justifies the need to control a module operation of SaMD-AI after making changes. To streamline and optimize the necessary and sufficient control procedures, a systematization of possible changes in SaMD-AI and testing methods was carried out.
