# Intended Use ## Mapping of Requirements to Document Sections > Only relevant if you're aiming for MDD (and not MDR) compliance: | MDD Class | MDD Section | Document Section | |---------------|------------------|------------------| | IIa, IIb, III | Annex II, 3.2 c) | (All) | | I | Annex VII, 3 | (All) | > And vice-versa, only relevant if you're aiming for MDR (not MDD) compliance: | MDR Class | MDR Section | Document Section | |-----------|-------------------------------|------------------| | (All) | Annex II, 1.1 a) - d), h), i) | (All) | > Always relevant: | ISO 14971:2019 Section | Document Section | |------------------------|------------------| | 5.2 | (All) | | IEC 62366-1:2015 Section | Document Section | |--------------------------|------------------| | 5.1 | (All) | ## Product * Name: *\* * Version: *\* * Basic UDI-DI: *\* ## Intended Use > Describe the core medical functionality of your device and how it treats, diagnoses or alleviates a disease. > Keep it high-level so that this description is true for as long as possible even when the device is updated. ## Intended Medical Indication > Describe the condition(s) and/or disease(s) to be screened, monitored, treated, diagnosed, or prevented by > your software. Importantly, also list exclusion criteria: Maybe patients with a certain diagnosis should not > be using your device. ## Contraindications > List anything that you want to explicitly exclude from your intended use. ## Patient Population > Describe the patient population your software is intended to be used on. Note that this may overlap with the > user profile (section below), but not necessarily. Your software could be used by physicians to diagnose > diseases in patients, so in that case, they don't overlap. Some ideas for characteristics to describe: Age > group, weight range, health, condition(s). ## User Profile > Describe the typical user of the software. Some ideas could be: Qualifications, prior training (for your > software), technical proficiency, time spent using the software. ## Use Environment Including Software/Hardware > Describe the typical use environment. What sort of devices is this running on? Does the software only run on > one device or multiple devices? Is it loud and chaotic like in an emergency ward? How's the lighting? > > Also, add other software or hardware which is required by your device. Most commonly, apps require users to > have a smartphone with a compatible operating system (iOS / Android). ## Operating Principle > It's kind of a stretch to describe the "operating principle" of software. I guess this makes more sense for > hardware devices. In any case, I'd just generally state what sort of input goes in and what output comes > out, e.g. you could be processing images and returning diagnoses. The device is stand-alone software. It receives input from the user and outputs information. ## Part of the Body / Type of Tissue Interacted With The device is stand-alone software. It receives input from the user and outputs information. It doesn't come in contact with tissue or bodily fluids. ## Variants / Accessories > Describe variants and/or accessories of/to this device, if applicable. For typical stand-alone software of > startups, this shouldn't be applicable. --- Template Copyright [openregulatory.com](https://openregulatory.com).
