Case Study: GE Healthcare achieves safety-critical software testing with QA Systems

GE Healthcare - Customer Case Study

GE Healthcare, a major medical device manufacturer, faced the challenge of developing safety-critical software for its patient monitors, which are classified at the highest FDA level. A software failure could directly harm a patient by missing a critical alarm. Their requirement was for a rigorous testing regime, including full white-box unit testing for a significant portion of the platform. QA Systems provided the solution to meet this need.

The solution implemented by QA Systems involved comprehensive unit testing to satisfy the stringent requirements of the IEC 62304 standard. Their testing service was applied to software developed in C++ and cross-compiled for the target system. By providing this essential validation, QA Systems helped GE Healthcare ensure the safety and reliability of its critical care monitoring equipment, mitigating the risk of patient harm.
