Operator Obligations, High-Risk AI, AI Literacy and CSV for AI Systems

Do you use AI systems in your day-to-day work, but do not place them on the market as part of your own medical device or IVD? Find out what obligations you must fulfil as a user or deployer under the EU AI Act, how to validate your AI tools in a regulated environment in accordance with ISO 13485 using a risk-based approach, and how to safely integrate their use into your quality management system

This seminar is aimed at AI users (deployers): anyone who uses AI in their day-to-day work without placing it on the market as part of their own medical device or IVD – for example, in laboratories, hospitals and medical technology companies. You will learn when you are considered a user or deployer under the AI Act, how to identify high-risk AI, and how to translate these obligations into the processes, documentation and roles within your QMS.

In addition, you will receive practical guidance on how to validate AI systems on a risk-based approach within the framework of Computer System Validation (CSV), and how to build and demonstrate AI literacy within your organisation.

Are you developing AI-based medical devices or IVDs? If so, our seminar ‘Regulatory Requirements for AI-Based Medical Devices – Practical Implementation of the MDR/IVDR & AI Act’ is the right choice for you.

The Right Role, the Right Responsibilities: Users (Deployers) Rather Than Manufacturers

The AI Act distinguishes between those who develop and place AI systems on the market (providers – in the case of medical devices, this means the manufacturers) and those who use them (operators or deployers). This seminar is aimed at the latter: anyone who uses AI in their day-to-day work without placing it on the market as part of their own medical device or IVD. You will learn when you are considered a deployer, what obligations this entails for you – particularly in the case of high-risk AI systems – and what changes when using everyday tools such as LLMs. Even where there is no specific legal obligation, the following applies: anyone who uses AI without a strategy risks inefficiency, poorer results and the loss of intellectual property.

From Obligation to Implementation: Integrating Operator Requirements into the Quality Management System and Validating AI Tools.

You will learn how to integrate the use of AI into your quality management system in a structured way – covering role definitions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), training, documentation, monitoring and reporting channels. This will enable you to translate regulatory requirements into practical processes for your organisation. In addition, you will receive practical guidance on the risk-based assessment and validation of AI systems within the framework of Computer System Validation (CSV). This will help you to manage AI applications appropriately, even independently of the AI Act.

 

Designed Specifically for MedTech and IVD: Practical Solutions for Regulated Environments

This seminar is specifically aimed at users of AI systems in the medtech, IVD, laboratory and healthcare sectors. The focus is not only on the text of the legislation, but also on what the requirements actually mean for your quality management system, your processes and your responsibilities. You will benefit from the combination of our AI-Act know-how and our regulatory expertise in regulated sectors. This will provide you with an understanding tailored to the day-to-day practices of manufacturers, laboratories and clinics.

 

Build and Demonstrate AI Skills – with a Certificate

The EU AI Act requires organisations to take measures to promote AI literacy amongst their staff (Art. 4). You will learn what this means in practical terms for your organisation and how to identify and document training needs effectively. We will also clarify whether you need an AI officer: the AI Act does not mandate such a role.
At the end of the seminar, you can take a voluntary online exam (duration: approx. 20 mins). If you pass this exam, you will receive a certificate in addition to your certificate of attendance. This certifies the knowledge you have acquired during the seminar and helps you to demonstrate the measures you have taken to promote AI literacy in accordance with Article 4 of the AI Act.

Course Content

In this seminar, you will learn what requirements the EU AI Act actually imposes on users of AI systems and how to implement them in a practical manner within regulated environments:

  • Requirements of the AI Act: role, applicability and scope
    • When you are considered a deployer (operator): typical use cases in medtech, IVD, hospitals and laboratories
    • Distinction between user and manufacturer obligations, as well as the information and documentation that the manufacturer must provide
    • Interfaces with the MDR, IVDR and other applicable regulations
  • Safely classifying high-risk AI in practice
    • What constitutes a high-risk AI system within the meaning of the AI Act
    • How to identify and classify high-risk AI in practice
  • When this gives rise to further obligations for your organisation
  • Assessing and managing AI tools in a regulatory-compliant manner
    • Regulatory principles for the assessment and validation of AI tools
    • Understanding the origins of the obligations to validate AI tools
    • AI-specific extensions to your familiar and existing processes
    • The role of data and IP protection in the context of AI use
  • Documentation, evidence and risk-based validation
    • Documentation and evidence: AI inventory, intended purpose, risk assessment
    • Validation of AI systems: fundamentals and procedures within the CSV process, risk-based and traceable
    • Preparing for audits and inspections
  • AI literacy and sanctions
    • AI literacy: requirements, qualification and team training
    • Sanctions and risks in the event of non-compliance
Learning Objectives

By attending the seminar, participants will achieve the following objectives:

  • Know when they assume the role of a deployer (operator) under the EU AI Act
  • Assess whether and to what extent the AI Act applies to their AI applications
  • Independently identify their requirements and distinguish between deployer obligations and manufacturer obligations
  • Recognise whether they are using a high-risk AI system and understand how this affects their obligations
  • Understand the regulatory requirements governing the use of AI systems
  • Apply the fundamental steps for the risk-based validation of AI systems (CSV) in practice
  • Know which records and evidence must be maintained, and document these correctly
  • Implement requirements for human oversight and the intended use of AI systems in practice
  • Identify and define roles and responsibilities within the organisation
  • Promote AI competence within the team, determine qualification requirements and implement training measures
  • Understand what information and communication channels the manufacturer of a high-risk AI system must provide
  • Apply practical steps for audit preparation for AI systems within the quality management system
  • Link the requirements of the AI Act, MDR and IVDR to their own context
  • Understand the potential consequences and sanctions for non-compliance
Target Audiene

This seminar is designed for anyone who uses AI systems in the medical device and IVD sectors.

These include, for example, individuals in the following roles

  • Users of AI systems in their day-to-day (regulatory) work, e.g. LLMs, AI coding assistants or AI for image generation
  • Laboratory staff and laboratory managers, as well as hospital staff who use AI-based medical devices or IVDs
  • Quality management and regulatory affairs
  • Procurement, marketing and IT

Do you develop AI-based medical devices or IVDs yourself? If so, our seminar for manufacturers​​​​​​​ is the right choice for you.
