We manage risk throughout the design workflow - applying the ISO 14971-1-2012-standards-based approach to risk management.
Following this standard enables us to establish risk management requirements and to use these during the product life cycle to determine the safety of a manufacturer's product (particularly for medical device safety).
ISO 14971 is a nine-part standard that first establishes a framework for risk analysis, evaluation, control, and management, and also specifies a procedure for reviewing and monitoring during production and post-production.
As part of Risk Analysis, we ...
-
Define the intended use of the product and identify device-safety characteristics
-
Identify potentially hazardous use scenarios
-
Estimate risk(s) for each hazardous situation
As part of Risk Control, we...
-
Conduct risk control option analysis
-
Implement risk control measure(s)
-
Evaluate residual risks
-
Conduct risk/benefit analysis
-
Identify risks arising from risk control measures
-
Confirm the completeness of risk control
