For medical devices · IrisMed

What the device actually does, reconstructed from the device itself.

IrisMed is IRIS configured for medical device software. It builds an accurate, reusable model of a legacy device system from its own source and records — then turns that model into the FMEA, specifications, standards-gap analysis and traceability your quality organisation has to produce anyway. Deployed inside your environment, with our engineers working alongside yours until the output is one your own team will sign.

The problem it addresses

The engineering survived. The reasoning behind it did not.

Devices designed decades ago are still in service and still being changed. The engineers who made the original decisions have moved on. The silicon underneath has turned over across vendor generations, each substitution carrying assumptions nobody recorded. And when a field issue surfaces, the answer has to be documented, defensible and fast.

The constraint is almost never the engineering. It is that the reasoning behind the design was never captured in a form anyone can file — so every question becomes an archaeology project before it can become an answer.

How IrisMed is built

Two layers. Context first, because evidence is only as good as the context behind it.

LAYER ONE — CONTEXT

An accurate model of the system, kept and reused

Understanding device code requires context, and context that is wrong is worse than none. IrisMed generates that context from the existing code and whatever information you supply, then works with your engineers to correct and deepen it. The result is stored securely as your asset, and reused on every question that follows rather than rebuilt each time.

LAYER TWO — EVIDENCE

The artefacts your quality system has to produce

With the context established, IrisMed generates FMEA analysis, specifications, adherence-and-gap analysis against the standards you are held to, and traceability across the set. Every output cites where in the source it came from, so a reviewer can follow the claim back rather than take it on trust.

DELIVERY

Tooling, method, and people who stay

IrisMed is delivered as an engagement, not a download. We bring the supporting tools, deploy them under a method built for device software, and stay alongside your systems engineers until the value is realised and your team can carry it without us.

What the context layer captures

Six dimensions, built once and reused.

01

Application architecture

How the system is actually assembled, as built rather than as designed.

02

Organisational context

Who owns what, and the conventions a team applied that no specification records.

03

Domain

The clinical and engineering domain the device operates in, and the vocabulary its code uses for it.

04

Code organisation

How the source is structured, where responsibility sits, and which boundaries are real.

05

Dataflow

What moves through the system, in what order, and what transforms it on the way.

06

Critical system events

The events the device's safety and behaviour depend on — the ones a reviewer will ask about first.

What it produces

Output that goes into the record, not into a report nobody files.

FMEA

Failure modes and effects

Generated from the system as it is, with severity, occurrence and detection scored and the source of each entry cited.

SPECIFICATIONS

What the system does, written down

Behaviour recovered from the implementation and stated in the form your process expects.

GAPS

Adherence to standards

Where the system meets the standards you are held to and where it does not — named, located and evidenced.

TRACEABILITY

The thread between them

Requirement to design to implementation to risk, linked, so a change can be followed through the whole set.

The relationship to IRIS

IrisMed is the medical device configuration of IRIS.

IRIS is the underlying platform: it reads code and records, captures what experts know, and produces evidence that cites its sources. IrisMed is that platform built out for device software specifically — the context model, the standards set, the artefact formats and the delivery method are all shaped for regulated medical devices rather than for enterprise systems generally.

If you are looking at enterprise applications, ERP estates or a carve-out rather than device software, IRIS is the page you want.

Start here

Bring one device. We will show you what comes back.

Thirty minutes to understand the system and the obligation attached to it. If there is a fit, we start with a scoped proof of concept on a device you name — in your environment, with the output assigned to you.
