MediTUX OS

Medical Grade OS for Regulated Medical Devices

MediTUX OS™ is a Linux OS platform developed and maintained under ISO 13485, intended for integration into regulated medical devices. It provides a long-term, secure, and maintainable operating system foundation for software-driven, connected medical products operating under increasing regulatory and cybersecurity scrutiny.

As regulatory expectations evolve – including FDA §524B cybersecurity requirements and EU MDR/IVDR post-market obligations -medical device manufacturers are required to manage SBOMs, vulnerability monitoring, secure update lifecycles, and long-term software maintenance. Building and sustaining this infrastructure internally often requires significant ongoing investment in DevOps, cybersecurity engineering, and compliance processes.

MediTUX OS goes beyond a standard Linux distribution. It is a managed platform service that delivers curated Linux builds, platform-level software lifecycle artifacts aligned with IEC 62304, cybersecurity engineering support, automated SBOM generation, CVE monitoring, and long-term update maintenance. MediTUX is designed to help OEMs reduce operational burden and regulatory friction while retaining full system-level responsibility and control.
