概要
  • 一项UL医疗器械和医疗保健网络安全标准,正在被美国FDA认可。

  • UL 2900系列标准将使得美国医疗器械入市申请者,能够获取到证明产品网络安全特性的资料。

  • 证明产品满足FDA网络安全要求的工具,应在产品上市前和上市后均能为医疗器械生产商和医疗软件开发者提供帮助。

美国FDA将很快采用美国UL发布的关于医疗器械网络安全的一系列标准,帮助医疗器械生产商支持其对产品网络安全的宣称。


UL 2900系列标准是由UL网络安全保证项目组(UL CAP)开发的,旨在为生产商提供用于评估医疗器械软件的缺陷和安全控制,以及识别安全性改进的可测试、可测量的标准。UL2900系列标准包括:

  • UL 2900-1:可联网设备及产品的软件网络安全的一般要求。

  • UL 2900-2-1:可联网医疗系统组件,包括医疗器械和软件的特殊要求。

  • UL 2900-2-2:工厂控制系统的特殊要求。

UL 2900标准已在ANSI采用过程中

在FDA计划认可UL 2900标准之前,美国国家标准协会(ANSI)已一致同意采用UL 2900-1标准, 对UL 2900-2-1的采用也正在进行中。


“UL 2900标准为器械生产商提供了可重复、可再现的测试方法,这些测试可为网络安全的宣称提供支持性的客观证据”, UL医疗系统互用和安全首席工程师Anura Fernando解释到。“UL CAP 基于UL 2900标准,可为监管部门和医疗服务机构提供资质认证。该资质认证保证了医疗器械的上市前评审和资格条件已符合关于网络安全的标准化要求”。


FDA采用UL 2900,对美国入市申请者意味着什么

由于ANSI和FDA采用和实施全部的UL 2900系列标准,美国入市申请者将受到怎样的影响?


根据Fernando的说法,UL 2900系列标准的要求与当前FDA的产品上市前和上市后网络安全指导原则,以及ANSI技术小组的指南一致,因此,UL标准是用于支持FDA注册提交过程的。


“FDA对UL 2900-1的认可程序已完成,其公开的公告将在美国联邦公报的下一份公告中,列在FDA认可标准清单#47中,”Fernando报告说。


根据Fernando的说法,制造商将能够使用UL 2900认证来证明其设备符合FDA上市前和上市后指导原则的法规要求。

UL 2900 Cybersecurity Standards Set for FDA Adoption
 July 11, 2017 by Stewart Eisenhart
EMERGO SUMMARY OF KEYPOINTS:
  • A medical device and healthcarenetworking cybersecurity standard from UL is being recognized by the US Foodand Drug Administration.
  • The UL 2900 set ofstandards will enable US medical device market registrants to assemble evidenceto demonstrate proper cybersecurity features for their products.
  • Tools to demonstratecompliance with FDA cybersecurity requirements should help device manufacturersand medical software developers in both pre- and post-market environments.

A set of standardspublished by UL to address medical device cybersecurity issues will soon beadopted by the US Food and Drug Administration to help manufacturers supportsecurity assurance claims.
TheUL 2900standardswere developed as part of UL’s Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) toprovide manufacturers with testable and measurable criteria to assess medicaldevice software vulnerabilities and security controls as well as identify securityimprovements. Included in the UL 2900 series of standards are:
  • UL 2900-1: Generalrequirements for software cybersecurity for network-connectable devices andproducts
  • UL 2900-2-1: Particularrequirements for network-connectable healthcare system components includingmedical devices and software
  • UL 2900-2-2: Particularrequirements for industrial control systems
ANSIadoption of UL 2900 already underway
Ahead of the FDA’splanned recognition of UL 2900, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)has already granted consensus for UL 2900-1, and is in the process of adoptingUL 2900-2-1 as well.
“UL 2900 provides devicemanufacturers with repeatable, reproducible tests that can provide objectiveevidence to support assurance claims regarding cybersecurity,” explains AnuraFernando, Principal Engineer, Medical Systems Interoperability & Securityat UL. “UL CAP is based on the UL 2900 standard, and provides regulators andhealthcare delivery organizations with certifications ensuring that standardizedrequirements for cybersecurity have been satisfied as part of a device’spremarket review and qualification.”
WhatFDA adoption of UL 2900 will mean for US registrants
Given pending adoptionand implementation of the full UL 2900 set of standards for medical devices andsoftware by ANSI and the FDA, how will US market registrants be impacted?
According to Fernando, UL2900 requirements were developed in alignment with current FDA pre- andpost-market cybersecurity guidance, as well as with ANSI Technical Panelguidelines; thus, the UL standards have been designed to support FDA regulatorysubmission processes.
“The FDA recognitionprocess for UL 2900-1 has been completed, and a public announcement isanticipated in the next US Federal Register notice under List #47 of FDARecognized Consensus Standards,” Fernando reports.
Manufacturers will beable to use UL 2900 certification to demonstrate that their devices meetregulatory requirements laid out in FDA pre- and post-market guidance, saysFernando.
