Used Dependencies are for managing Software of Unknown Provenance  (SOUP) in the Ketryx Dependencies Module. IEC 62304 Section 8.1.2 states

“For each SOUP Configuration Item being used, including standard libraries, the manufacturer shall document: 

  1. The title
  2. The manufacturer, and
  3. The unique soup designator...

Of each Soup Configuration item being used."

Additionally, the FDA has released cybersecurity best practices & SBOM guidance for medical devices. 

The “used dependencies" field in Jira allows you to trace identified software items to dependencies used in your code. If a dependency shows an unacceptable vulnerability, this field may assist with identifying which software item specifications are affected by the dependency during your dependencies review process. 

See this article for more information concerning cyber security and SBOM compliance.
