Technical problem

Headset and OS updates versus change control

Medical XR software runs on consumer-grade headsets whose operating system and firmware change on the platform vendor's schedule. Each change can alter rendering, tracking or timing, and manufacturers must decide what needs re-verification and what a pre-agreed change plan can cover.

Provenance

Where this problem statement comes from

FDA — Predetermined Change Control Plans for Medical Devices (guidance)FDA guidance page describes how planned device modifications and their validation can be documented in a submission. It is a general device guidance and does not address headsets specifically; the page is a draft dated August 2024. The problem statement is AVRMD's framing; the cited work documents the difficulty.
