The third-party validated kernel is available immediately to run on Cortex-M3 and ARM7 based microprocessors.
David Brook, head of marketing at High Integrity Systems said, for medical applications it is critical that third party software is not merely a retro-fitted general-purpose product. If it is to meet stringent regulatory standards then it must have been designed specifically to be deterministic, verifiable and certifiable.
Risks associated with using general-purpose software and multiple support organisations are virtually eliminated with the kernel, certification and support capability delivered from a single organisation.
SafeRTOS brings the benefits of off-the-shelf software to applications with safety implications or certification requirements. SafeRTOS was first certified as developed in compliance with IEC61508 by TÜV SÜD in 2007.
