What is it? Medical Devices have the potential be used in lots of different ways. An Intended Purpose is written by a technology’s manufacturer, so everyone is clear on how and why it should be used.

Why should I care? Artificial intelligence and other healthcare technologies can affect patients very differently depending on how and why they are used. If they are used in ways for which they were not designed or tested, then patients may be put at risk unnecessarily and healthcare professionals may be liable for harms.

Does it affect healthcare now? Yes. The Intended Purpose capture the specifics that are approved for use and influence who is at fault if patient harm comes about in their use.
