Satisfying SIL Requirements with Parasoft

Achieving Java Application Security With Parasoft Jtest

Inomed Streamlines IEC 62304 Medical Device Software Certification

Inomed rapidly automated their established processes, enforced compliance with IEC 62034 coding standards, and introduced full requirements traceability by implementing the Parasoft Development Testing Platform. Moreover, the Development Testing Platform seamlessly integrated into Inomed’s existing infrastructure which made implementation fast and simple. As a result, Inomed significantly reduc...

Design of complex safety-related systems in accordance with IEC 61508

According to IEC 61508, a safety-related system is regarded as type B if it presents a high complexity (i.e. the failure mode of at least one component is not well defined, or the behaviour under fault conditions cannot be completely determined), or if there is insufficient data to support claims for failure rates. This paper proposes a modelling method adapted to the evaluation of failure prob...

Providing independent layers of protection with integrated safety systems

Modern automation systems incorporate (Safety Integrity Level) SIL certified Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) as an inherent part of the system. Phrases such as “integrated but separate” are often used to illustrate the undiminished safety integrity of these fully integrated automation systems. This paper will cover how an Integrated Safety System (one that performs both basic process control ...

Effect of Local Administration of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor with Silicone Conduit on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: a Rat Sciatic Nerve Transection Model

Objective- The objective was to assess local effect of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on functional recovery of peripheral nerve in rat sciatic nerve transection model. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Sixty male healthy white Wistar rats Procedures- The animalswere randomized into four experimental groups of 15 animals each: In sham-operated group (SHAM), sciatic nerve was exp...
