Is it possible to allow Virus protection and Windows update in a real-time Medical Device application or are you allowed to install a device without any protection on the network?

The Medical Device Directive (MDD) clearly states that the device must be validated and that the vendor must have full control of the released software. This is common sense!
With Windows Update turned on you can never state that you are in control of the software.
With normal virus scanning with a never ending increasing number of virus without any control over the real-time affects you can never state that you are in control of the software.
The IT department on the other hand clearly states that all IT equipment must have an updated virus protection and that all security patches must be installed. This is common sense!
Ortivus has together with SE46 the ultimate solution!
It’s based on a whitelist approach rather than the normal blacklist. Both MobiMed and CoroNet can be delivered with the SE46 CIS solution. This eliminates the need of any updates and any normal virus scanning. Only validated and released software are allowed to run!
