Question:
What is the INDUSTRY Standard for handling the distribution of "Known Bugs"
for medical devices (SOFTWARE specific, not hardware?)
Is there an alternative terminology for posting "Known Bugs"
Can someone provide me with a specific reference where I can research this
issue, or find examples of how other medical companies handle this issue?
I need your input URGENTLY!
Thanks in advance,
Debbie
