AdvaMed Tells Copyright Office Device Service Software Stands Apart

United States – October 17, 2026 -- AdvaMed has told the U.S. Copyright Office that software built to diagnose, configure and service a medical device is a distinct product and should not be treated like the software that operates the device.

AdvaMed separates clinician-facing software from servicing tools

The trade group's comments contrast two categories. One is software clinicians use to operate an imaging system. The other is software designed specifically to diagnose, configure and service that system. AdvaMed compares the split to a vehicle's operating software versus the specialized diagnostic tools technicians use to repair it. In its framing, one enables use of the product, while the other is a standalone tool with its own functions, users, protections and market.
