SaMD Solutions Development & Consulting Services

Two things SaMD teams always need: a development partner who understands medical device regulations, and a regulatory partner who can actually ship software.

Binariks is both ??? delivering end-to-end SaMD solutions from architecture to market launch.

What Is SaMD Development?

SaMD development is the process of designing, building, validating, and maintaining software that performs a medical function without being part of a hardware medical device. It includes regulatory planning, risk classification, IEC 62304 software lifecycle records, usability engineering, cybersecurity, clinical validation, and documentation for FDA or EU MDR review.

Custom SaMD Development

Full-cycle software as a medical device (SaMD) development from clinical concept and architecture to market-ready product. We build high-quality software around real clinical needs. It does exactly what your users need and everything your regulators require.

SaMD Consulting

Binariks offers strategic guidance on regulatory pathways, risk classification, QMS setup, and go-to-market readiness. Our SaMD consultants help you identify the best-fit software solutions for your needs, with a clear implementation roadmap.

SaMD Architecture & Infrastructure

Scalable, audit-ready system architecture aligned with cybersecurity guidance (FDA 2023), HIPAA, and ISO 27001. We design cloud and hybrid SaMD infrastructure, and run data security gap analyses on existing products to identify and close vulnerabilities early.

QMS, Compliance & Documentation

End-to-end compliance engineering covering risk management (ISO 14971), usability (IEC 62366), cybersecurity, and quality management system implementation.

SaMD UX Design

Intuitive medical-grade UX that meets IEC 62366 formative and summative usability study requirements, and that clinicians and patients actually want to use.

Platform, IoT & Third-Party Integrations

Medical device, EHR/EMR, telehealth, lab, wearable, FHIR, HL7, DICOM, and proprietary protocol integrations.

Deliverables We Provide

Binariks structures every SaMD engagement around the software, documentation, quality, and post-market evidence regulated teams need for review and launch.

Our SaMD Development Process


Step 01

Discovery & Regulatory Planning

We define intended use, users, product scope, risk class, and regulatory pathway.
Output: Intended-use statement, risk classification, pathway recommendation, compliance roadmap.

Step 02

Architecture & Infrastructure Design

We design software architecture, hosting, security controls, data flows, and integrations.
Output: Architecture specification, data flow map, security baseline, integration plan.

Step 03

UX Design & Usability Engineering

We design and test workflows for clinicians, patients, or other target users.
Output: User flows, prototypes, usability protocol, formative testing plan.

Step 04

Iterative Development & Verification

We build in controlled iterations with traceability between requirements, risks, and tests.
Output: Working increments, verification records, test results, traceability matrix.

Step 05

Validation & Regulatory Submission

We validate the full system and prepare documentation for FDA or EU review.
Output: Validation report, technical file, submission package, reviewer-response support.

Step 06

Post-Market Surveillance & Maintenance

We support monitoring, updates, vigilance workflows, and controlled software changes.
Output: PMS plan, update process, monitoring setup, maintenance roadmap.

SaMD development requires an engineering team that thinks in terms of regulatory frameworks, and Binariks fits that profile.

SaMD Delivery Built Around Regulatory Evidence

SaMD projects slow down when evidence is collected after the product is built. The safer path is to make requirements, risks, tests, and usability decisions traceable from day one.

Technology Stack & Integrations

We choose technology based on product requirements, user roles, data sensitivity, integration needs, and long-term maintainability.

FAQ

Do you provide SaMD consulting services for FDA and MDR compliance?

Yes. Our SaMD consultants support the full regulatory lifecycle, from early classification and pathway selection through submission preparation and post-market compliance. For FDA, we cover 510(k), De Novo, and PMA pathways. For EU MDR, we support technical file compilation, Notified Body audit preparation, and MDCG guidance interpretation. We also assist with pre-submission meetings, Q-Sub requests, and FDA interaction strategy.

How do you build a secure SaMD infrastructure and architecture?

We design SaMD infrastructure in accordance with the FDA's 2023 cybersecurity pre-market guidance, ISO 27001, and relevant HIPAA/GDPR requirements. This includes threat modelling (STRIDE), secure software architecture documentation, encrypted data pipelines, audit-trail infrastructure, and access-control design. All architecture decisions are documented in a Software Architecture Document that becomes part of the regulatory technical file. We work on AWS GovCloud, Azure Health Data Services, and Google Cloud Healthcare API, depending on your compliance and data residency requirements.

What is the difference between SaMD and regular healthcare software?

Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) is software intended to perform a medical function — such as diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or monitoring of a medical condition — independently of any hardware device. Regular healthcare software (scheduling systems, billing tools, EHR viewers) performs administrative or operational functions and does not carry a medical intended purpose. The IMDRF definition is the reference point: if the software's output directly influences a clinical decision, it is likely SaMD and subject to medical device regulations, including FDA oversight or EU MDR.

How long does end-to-end SaMD development usually take?

The timeline depends primarily on risk classification and the intended submission pathway. A Class II 510(k) product with a clear predicate can take 12–18 months from architecture to cleared status. Class III PMA products typically require 24–36+ months given the clinical evidence requirements. EU MDR Class IIb/III products follow a similar extended timeline due to Notified Body review, an independent conformity assessment by an EU-designated organization. Early regulatory planning and a well-structured design history file are the most effective ways to compress these timelines. This  is why we recommend engaging our SaMD consultants at project inception.

Do you offer SaMD UX design services?

Yes. Our UX design practice follows the IEC 62366-1 usability engineering process — including user research, use specification development, formative usability evaluations, iterative design, and summative testing with the target user population. We produce the full Usability Engineering File (UEF) required for Class II and above FDA submissions and EU MDR technical documentation. Our designers work alongside regulatory affairs specialists so every UX decision is grounded in both clinical usability and compliance evidence requirements.

What quality management systems (QMS) do you follow for SaMD?

Binariks holds ISO 13485 certification — the international standard for quality management systems specific to medical devices. This is the foundation for all SaMD development engagements. For US-market products, we align QMS implementation with 21 CFR Part 820 (FDA Quality System Regulation / Quality Management System Regulation). We can also implement or audit client-side QMS structures using tools such as Greenlight Guru or Jama Connect, and support clients in preparing for ISO 13485 certification if they are establishing their own QMS for the first time.
