... comprises all measures for systematically detecting, analyzing, evaluating, monitoring, and controlling risks. It is understood as a process of continuous planning, implementation, monitoring, and improvement.
... should begin BEFORE you start product development. By defining all risks together with your team at the beginning, considering and organizing them for risk management, we eliminate all obstacles at an early stage. And it saves you a considerable amount of time and money for a subsequent implementation of necessary measures.
... is our specialty, because our engineers and natural scientists have extensive knowledge and many years of experience with the development of medical devices and their regulatory requirements.
EN ISO 14971: Application of risk management to medical devices
Both the medical device regulation and different harmonized standards require a risk management process. EN ISO 14971 describes a process for the application of risk management to medical devices. The standard offers a procedure enabling the manufacturer to identify, assess, and control the risks linked to its medical device.
It is the one that is most closely linked to other standards. Give EN ISO 14971 the attention it deserves.
