Analysis of Medical Device Software with Axivion

With groundbreaking progress in science and the constant evolution of medical devices, the importance of secure software in the medical industry has skyrocketed. 

Software failures, delays and ultimately, the possible threat of losing lives, are not acceptable in a safety-critical environment. Axivion can help you prevent this through reliable static analysis and architecture checking.

Growing Ammounts of Software with Effective Function and Highest Security


Whether infusion pumps, dialysis machines or imaging devices such as computer tomographs, all share a growing proportion of software, both in the medical application, the HMI as well as the integration into a higher-level communication infrastructure. It must be ensured at all times that this software is both effective in terms of the required function and safe for patients and does not lead to unacceptable risks.

Axivion Suite offers solutions for both issues. With the architecture analysis, you can ensure compliance with your software architecture and also define safety and security architectures and monitor their compliance.

The development of software for medical devices is faced with two fundamental tasks:

  • How can the complexity be kept to the necessary minimum and the software thus be kept maintainable, understandable and expandable?
  • How can the functional safety of the medical device software be demonstrated?

With the analysis of software projects according to metrics such as nesting or McCabe, key values of a high internal quality can be controlled. Additional security is provided by the coding guidelines for MISRA or CERT in order to quickly detect potentially unsafe program parts.
