MISRA equivalent for medical industry?

c, medical, misra

Solution

Further to the earlier answers, I'd be interested to know why you feel MISRA would not be suitable?

Yes, I accept fully that MISRA-C:1998 was titled and targeted at Vehicle Based Software but the second edition in 2004 has already changed to Guidelines for the Use of the C Language in Critical Systems, and as such MISRA is applicable to all industries - and (for example) is a reference document for the Joint Strike Fighter coding standards.

MISRA-C has most definitely been adopted by the nuclear and medical industries.

And (putting my MISRA Working Group member hat on for one moment, although I'm posting in a personal capacity only) if there are any specific issues relating to MISRA-C's application to medical devices, then I'm happy to discuss here and/or raise with the team.

Problem

Pretty much as the title, is there a medical industry equivalent document, standard or set of either to the auto industry's MISRA? I'm working in the area of C, but anything language agnostic would be good too
