Regulation – Eisner Safety Consultants

Medical Device Compliance & Certification Summit – Why It Matters?

Medical Device Compliance & Certification Summit – Why It Matters?

Medical device and diagnostic compliance expectations are shifting earlier in the product lifecycle. IEC 60601 and related standards are no longer something teams can “handle at test.” Regulators increasingly expect standards interpretation, risk decisions, and test strategy to be visible and justified during design reviews and technical documentation development.

This shift is showing up in real ways – deeper design reviews, tougher pre-submission questions, and increased scrutiny of how standards were applied, not just whether a final test report exists.

To address this reality, Eisner Safety Consultants (ESC) is working with Nemko to deliver a three-day, in-person Medical Device Compliance & Certification Summit focused on how standards, testing, and regulator expectations intersect in real programs.

A focused, three-day program for engineering, regulatory, and compliance teams navigating IEC 60601, IEC 61010, EMC and RF requirements, certification strategy, and regulator guidance documents across FDA, EU, and other markets.

In-Person Training & Live Workshops

February 2–4, 2026
Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, 3075 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Designed for teams preparing new medical devices or diagnostics for market, working through recurring EMC or RF failures, or tightening FDA or EU MDR technical documentation ahead of submission or surveillance review.

Registration Summit Details

Who this summit is designed for

Electrical, EMC, RF, and systems engineers
Regulatory affairs and quality professionals
Product and compliance managers
Medical device and diagnostic startups preparing first submissions
Teams facing test failures, redesigns, or certification delays

What attendees will learn

How regulators evaluate standards application, not just test outcomes
Future impacts of IEC 60601-1, 4th edition concepts on design controls

What’s NASA & Star Trek have to do with IEC 60601?

leoeisner — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 05:19:05 +0000

Jump to the article Listen to the episode

When I was in high school, I had no idea a simple work study opportunity would redirect my entire future. That is exactly what happened when I was beamed over to NASA for the first time. That early exposure to real world engineering lit a spark that has stayed with me ever since. A curiosity for science, safety, and how technology can genuinely serve people.

All these decades later, that same curiosity still energizes my work with IEC 60601, patient safety, and supporting the MedTech industry. So when I joined Faisal Kamal on The Podcast, it felt like a perfect chance to bring all these threads together. Star Trek. NASA. Standards. Innovation. Human factors. EMS & Home use environments.. And above all, patient safety.

Judging by the conversation that unfolded across LinkedIn afterward, I was not the only one who felt the episode combined heart, humor, and hard won lessons in a very different way.

Standards Are Not Rulebooks. They Are Star Maps.

One of the core themes Faisal and I explored on the podcast was the idea that IEC 60601 is not just a set of rules. It is a star map.

A star map built from decades of engineering mistakes, test data, regulatory learning, and field experience.

Many people see standards as obstacles. In reality, standards like the IEC 60601 series are a knowledge base created to unlock innovation safely, not shut it down.

Several people who reacted to the episode picked up on that idea. They commented on how the format allowed serious topics like risk, essential performance, and compliance to feel more approachable. That mix of education and entertainment was exactly what we were hoping for.

Why Star Trek Got So Much Right

A fun part of the episode, and something listeners responded to strongly, was connecting Star Trek’s fictional tools to real world design challenges.

Take the tricorder. It is a great analogy for electronic medical devices used in the home and in EMS environments. These are unpredictable spaces filled with:

noise
chaotic motion
temperature shifts
RF interference
unexpected stress

The 4th edition of IEC 60601 intentionally integrates these concepts. It pushes engineers and manufacturers to design for the environments where devices actually get used, not just for clean lab conditions.

The underlying idea is simple and powerful. Reliability under stress is at the heart of essential performance and patient safety.

The Human Side Of Standards Work

Another meaningful thread that came out in the comments was the human side of the story.

People commented that the journey from NASA to MedTech felt inspiring and very real. Hearing that from respected peers in the MedTech community meant a lot to me personally.

IEC 60601 discussions rarely highlight the human side of standards work. The early influences. The mentors. The choices that move someone from pure engineering into safety and compliance. Those pieces matter.

As Faisal noted, learning about the path from NASA to medical device safety helped make the technical content more relatable and more human.

Building The Next Generation Of Standards Developers

A theme that resonated with several colleagues, including Beat Keller and others who shared or commented, was the hope that this episode reaches the “Next Generation” of engineers and standards enthusiasts.

Right now, more experts are aging out of standards development than new people are joining. The future of safe medical device design depends on bringing younger professionals into the process.

If even a handful of listeners feel curious enough to explore standards work after hearing this episode, that is a tremendous win not only for me personally but for the whole MedTech industry as a whole. We desperately need “new blood” to come into standards development.

A Community Effort

Many colleagues across LinkedIn reposted, amplified, and commented on the podcast. I am grateful for every one of them.

From Trekkie references to technical reflections to notes from people who simply enjoyed the story

the engagement showed how enthusiastic and thoughtful the MedTech safety community really is.

Podcast Feature

From engineer to “The IEC 60601 Guy” — my story and practical tips

I joined Duane Mancini on the Project Medtech Podcast to share how I became known for IEC 60601, why the series is a roadmap you can follow, and what 4th Edition changes mean for design, QMS, and documentation.

Episode 235

Listen on Web Open Spotify

A quick personal note

Nobody starts at the top as “The IEC 60601 Guy.” My path ran through early days at NASA, many years in test labs, and deep work in standards committees. What stuck with me is simple — stay curious, do the work, and show the work. That’s how we turn a dense standard into a practical plan.

Key takeaways from the episode

On the Project Medtech Podcast with Duane Mancini, M. Sc., I shared my genesis story of how I became known as The “IEC 60601 Guy”. Duane asked me to give listeners a 101 course on the IEC 60601 series, and I explained how I strive to “de-Greek” or demystify the standard series, and gave a preview of the big shifts coming in 4th Edition.

The “big picture” structure of the general standard, collateral standards, and particular standards

How lifecycle standards (risk management, usability, software) compare to type test standards in the 60601 family

Tangible changes to watch in the upcoming 4th Edition: clearer alarm requirements and impacts on design, QMS, & documentation

Why leaning on experts (internal or external) is key to getting this right for the impacts of 4th Edition

My goal is to “de-Greek” the process and show that IEC 60601 can be a roadmap , not a riddle

Whether you’re new to standards or a seasoned MedTech veteran, this episode shows how to approach IEC 60601 as a roadmap you can follow, instead of a riddle you can never quite solve.

What peers said

“If you want to know more about IEC 60601, Leo is the resource to go to … I recommend this episode to everybody working with medical electrical equipment.”

— Beat Keller

“Great to see how you became such an expert … I hope your story inspires young professionals to invest in becoming experts themselves.”

— Ronald Boumans

“It’s amazing that you covered the difference between process and test standards — there’s still a lot of confusion out there.”

— Tibor Zechmeister

ISO 20417, 2nd DIS Breaking News from Tokyo Meeting 📣📣

leoeisner — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 20:38:12 +0000

ISO TC 210 WG2 met in Tokyo, Japan on 4 – 5 March 2025.

WG2 meeting focused primarily on resolving the National Committees (NCs) comments received on the ISO/DIS 20417, 2^nd ed.

Thx to the hard work of our fearless Project Leader, doing a huge amount of prep work just prior to the WG meeting.
WG was able to review and resolve all the comments.
Next step will be to circulate for FDIS ballot ISO/FDIS 20417, 2^nd ed., that the NCs will vote on.

Changes proposed:

Add reference to transport and storage symbols for environmental conditions for packaging to distinguish between transport and storage environmental conditions.

Updated sub-cl 6.5.3 a) new sub items 2) & 3) with symbols for transport and storage – Special Section not included in LinkedIn Post
These symbols for transport is Symbol 3869 from ISO 14617-14:2004 (link goes to the ISO online browsing platform) and for storage is Symbol 2066 from ISO 14617-7:2002
This has been something I have been developing for more than a year with TC 210/ WG3 and also IEC 60601-1, 4^th ed., IEC TC 62/SC 62A/WG38 with a small team. At the Tokyo meeting TC210 / WG3 we have set up a task team to look at the proposed symbols for transport, storage and operation (operation was not included in ISO 20417 as no comment was provided). WG3 task team has not met yet so unable to share the proposed symbols from WG3 perspective at this time.

IEC TC 62/SC 62A/WG38, Fragment 2, (IEC 60601-1, 4th ed. – learn more about it) 62A/1630/CD was issued Dec 6 2024 and was closed for comments on Feb 28 2025. We are meeting in Arlington, Virginia at the AAMI offices to work on the comments March 30 – April 4, 2025. The two symbols above are part of the symbols that are in the CD and there are additional ones including one for operating IEC 60417‑6090:2012 and transient IEC 60417-5184:2002 environmental conditions, and indoor use IEC 60417-5957:2004. Some combination of the environmental conditions such as temperature, humdity, and atmospheric pressure will need to be combined as applicable to operation, storage and transport. Trainsient is a special condition. Please refer to the CD to understand the usage of the symbols.

Deleted 6.1.2 d) 1) (Change from “EC Rep” to “XX Rep”)

Align with update of ISO 15223-1:2021/A1:2025 published March 3, 2025 with “EC Rep” changed to “XX Rep” (5.1.2).
6.1.2 d) 1) previously stated: “When using symbol 5.1.2 from ISO 15223-1:—, the ‘EC’ may be replaced by the 2-letter or 3-letter country code given in ISO 3166-1.”

Added concept of “applicable policy”

New 3.3 definition.
Aligns with 1/2634/CDV of IEC 60050-880, 1^st ed, term 880-17-02) & about 20 additions in the normative text to “applicable policy” making those requirements based on what the authority having jurisdiction requires so more flexible.

Changed from “production control” to “production control identifier”

Make clearer the definitions of lot number, lot code, batch code, batch number, serial number, & other options noted in 5.9 of ISO 20417, 1^st ed. (will be 5.8 ISO 20417, 2^nd ed.)

The requirements related to commercial product name were deleted as they were duplicative of the catalogue number requirements.

Deleted 4 b)

The previous 4 b) roughly says: Normatively referenced edition of a standard in ISO 20417, ed., the manufacturer may substitute with a more current version provided by the manufacturer provided they can demonstrate the residual risk remains acceptable and is comparable to the residual risk that results from applying the normatively referenced document.
The normative referenced standards in the new draft FDIS are undated or dated. Undated references are required to be the most recent copy of the standard and the dated ones are required to be the dated version. ISO 15223-1 is the only dated normative referenced standard and references ISO 15223-1:2021 and ISO 15223-1:2021/AMD 1:2025 (ISO format requirements) in the draft FDIS.

HAS Consultant comments received late, added to collated comments, and resolved. JTC3 will prepare updated Annex Zs for addition to the FDIS

updated the normative references

Informative referenced standards (“should ” or “see standards” statement) were moved to the bibliography
Dropped ISO 16142-1 & -2 standards as both were withdrawn

Delete former informative Annexes D, F, G and H;

Annex D – Cross reference between the document and the requirements considered
Annex F – Reference to the essential principles (ISO 16142-1:2016 & ISO 16142-2:2017 – both withdrawn)
Annex G – Reference to the general safety and performance requirements for medical devices (Was previous corresponding list of GSPRs to the EU MDR list but will be replaced by Annex ZA^#)
Annex H – Reference to the general safety and performance requirements for IVD medical devices (Was previous corresponding list of GSPRs to the EU IVDR list but will be replaced by Annex ZB^#)
^# Annex ZA & ZB The FDIS will include Annex ZA & ZB prepared by JTC3 but not the final ISO publication.

IEC 60601 Updates: What MedTech Need to Know for 2025 and Beyond Podcast

leoeisner — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 21:46:24 +0000

In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Etienne Nichols sits down with Leo Eisner, founder of Eisner Safety Consultants and a leading voice in IEC 60601 standards development.

We unpack the upcoming revisions to IEC 60601, 4th ed., focusing on the rationale behind these changes, their impact on medical device design, and how MedTech professionals can prepare for the future.

Leo provides insights into the intricate process of updating global standards, shares practical advice for compliance, and discusses the role of risk management in ensuring safer, more effective medical devices.

Key Points:

New Modular Approach:
- The updated standard adopts a modular approach (12 working groups focused on specific hazard areas).
- Simplifies updates by consolidating Collateral Standards into the General Standard.
- Aligns better with global regulations.
IEC 60601-1 4th Edition:
- Focuses on addressing various hazards including:
  - physical environment,
  - electrical,
  - thermal and fire,
  - mechanical,
  - user interface (usability, alarms, information supplied by the manufacturer & user interface aspects),
  - materials,
  - optical radiation, and
  - electromagnetic exposure hazards.
New Requirements:
- Introduces new international requirements for wireless coexistence and other cutting-edge technologies (e.g., gas pathways, user interface aspects).
Consolidation of Standards:
- Collateral standards are being consolidated to improve consistency and reduce the update cycle time for the 60601 series.
Timeline and Publication Dates:
- Expected timeline for the fourth edition is 2029-2030.
- Companies need to plan now, though the actual timeline may slip depending on various factors.
Benefits of Proactive Planning:
- Proactive planning and test preparation are essential for regulatory success.
- Staying informed and embracing continuous learning in MedTech are key factors for success.
Practical Advice for Compliance:
- Begin designing for new standards early, even before they are finalized. MedTech design cycles are long.
- Engage with industry groups and standards organizations.
- Use test planning to streamline development and meet regulatory expectations efficiently.
Engaging in the Standards Development Process:
- Manufacturers are encouraged to engage in the standards development process and submit comments.
- This proactive approach can help shape the standards and ensure they are practical and achievable.

These updates aim to enhance safety and performance while keeping pace with technological advancements. Manufacturers need to stay informed and prepare for the impact these changes will have on their product lines and quality systems.
