This covers agents that ARE a regulated device, or sit inside one, and # the obligations are different in kind: # # * INTENDED USE is the legal boundary. An agent that drifts outside its cleared # indication is not merely unhelpful, it is an unapproved device. This is why # `safety-critical-advice-outside-remit` carries the highest floor here. # * The CDS exemption is conditional: the clinician must be able to review the basis # independently. An answer given without its basis forfeits the exemption, which makes # an uncited claim a regulatory problem and not a quality one. # * ADVERSE EVENTS create a reporting duty, so failing to escalate is an omission with a # statutory clock, not a missed opportunity. # * CHANGE CONTROL means an unversioned, unattributable output cannot support a device # record — which is why provenance obligations sit in this domain at all. # # It also closes a real gap: `fda_samd` was in the framework crosswalk with no domain able # to produce evidence for it, so its controls could only ever read the retired harness status # `not_evaluated` (`not_tested` in EIO). imports: - module: eio.domain.generic-agent version: 0.2.2 - module: eio.risk.data-handling version: 0.2.1 - module: eio.risk.grounding version: 0.2.1 - module: eio.risk.action-safety version: 0.3.0 - module: eio.risk.evaluator-reliability version: 0.2.1 - module: eio.risk.content-code-safety version: 0.2.1 concepts: - {id: eio.role.qualified-clinician, kind: role, parent: eio.role.clinician, description: "A licensed professional who must be able to independently review the basis of a recommendation."} - {id: eio.role.device-manufacturer, kind: role, parent: eio.role.operator, description: "The legal manufacturer accountable for intended use, change control and vigilance."} - {id: eio.role.notified-body, kind: role, parent: eio.role.regulator, description: "The certifying or clearing authority for the device and its intended use."} - {id: eio.data.intended-use-statement, kind: data-class, parent: eio.data.internal, description: "The cleared indication, patient population, and claims the device may make."} - {id: eio.data.clinical-evidence, kind: data-class, parent: eio.data.internal, description: "Validation data, performance characteristics and known limitations."} - {id: eio.data.adverse-event-record, kind: data-class, parent: eio.data.clinical-record, description: "Reportable harm, malfunction or near-miss associated with device use."} - {id: eio.action.clinical-recommendation, kind: action, parent: eio.action.clinical-decision, description: "Produce a diagnostic, triage, dosing or treatment recommendation."} - {id: eio.action.adverse-event-handling, kind: action, parent: eio.action.escalate, description: "Recognise, record and route a reportable adverse event."} - {id: eio.action.device-configuration-change, kind: action, parent: eio.action.update, description: "Alter model, threshold, prompt or configuration affecting device behaviour."} domain: id: eio.domain.medical-devices description: > Software-as-a-medical-device and clinical decision support agents.
