AI/ML Medical Device Security for Imaging AI & SaMD
AI/ML security for imaging AI and SaMD - model integrity, PCCP-aligned change control, training-data governance, and adversarial-input testing.
AI/ML security for imaging AI and SaMD is its own discipline because the model is the product, and the security boundaries are different from traditional software: training data lineage, model artifact integrity, inference-path adversarial robustness, and the Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) as a security boundary. Our service for this segment covers all four, aligned to FDA's AI/ML PCCP guidance and the 2026 final premarket cybersecurity guidance.
We document model provenance and training-data lineage at the level reviewers now expect: dataset source, dedup and PHI-handling controls, train/test split integrity, and the audit trail that proves the deployed model came from the training data on file. We treat model artifacts as SBOM components with hash-pinned versioning and signed distribution. We test the inference path for clinically-plausible adversarial inputs (not academic perturbations - inputs in the distribution your device will actually see), confidence-suppression paths, and metadata-driven shortcuts. Most importantly, we security-model the PCCP itself: which model updates are allowed under the PCCP envelope, who authorizes them, and what stops an unauthorized model from being shipped under cover of an approved PCCP change. This is the question reviewers are starting to ask, and most submissions don't have an answer.
Common findings in Imaging & AI/SaMD ai/ml medical device security
The patterns we actually see in this segment, this service, again and again.
-
PCCP doesn't define the security envelope
PCCP defines clinical performance bounds. Security envelope (who can update, what's signed, what's audited) absent. Reviewer asks.
-
Model artifacts not signed or hash-pinned
Model files distributed via container build. No signature, no manifest hash. Substitution detectable only by training-data audit.
-
Training-data lineage not auditable
Data ingest pipeline manual; lineage reconstructable but not on file. Reviewer asks for documented chain of custody.
-
Confidence-suppression paths undocumented
Specific input metadata combinations cause max-confidence outputs without inference. Documented as 'edge case' in model card; security implications not addressed.
Standard AI/ML Medical Device Security deliverables
These are the same deliverables the parent AI/ML Medical Device Security service ships with - tuned to your imaging & ai/samd architecture.
- Adversarial ML testing (evasion, poisoning, model inversion, prompt injection)
- PCCP authoring and FDA AI/ML transparency artifacts
- Model lifecycle, monitoring, and drift controls
- GMLP + AAMI CR34971 alignment
