What is a SOUP for your Software Development?
In this context SOUP is not a dish but Software Of Unknown Provenance which is the term used for Software that was not created by you. Christian Kaestner from Medical Device HQ will explain to us what you should consider when you have a SOUP within your product.
SOUP is the acronym for Software Of Unknown Provenance. This is mainly a piece of software that you want to use on your Medical Device but that you have not developed yourself. So if you have such a thing, then you need to listen to this podcast episode with Christian Kaestner from Medical Device HQ.
