MD and IVD standards: IEC 60601-1 and IEC 61010-1, versus IEC 62304 - Part 2

In the previous post, we've seen when it's mandatory to be compliant both with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 62304, and when IEC 60601-1 alone is enough.

But some manufacturers don't apply IEC 60601-1, mainly because their devices are not in contact with the patient or cannot be qualified are medical devices. We find in these categories in-vitro diagnosis instruments and laboratory instruments.
These instruments usually fall in the scope of IEC 61010-1. Let's see now the relationship between IEC 61010-1 and IEC 62304.

Manufacturers of medical devices often ask themselves the obvious question:
Is it mandatory to be compliant both with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 62304?

Similarly, manufacturers of in vitro diagnosis devices ask themselves:
Are my devices in the scope of IEC 62304?

Obviously, medical devices (MD) with electric or electronic components are in the scope of IEC 60601-1. And in-vitro diagnosis devices (IVD) with electric or electronic components are in the scope of IEC 61010-1.

Do MD and IVD that embed software, fall in the scope of IEC 62304?
This is not so obvious.
