Overview

Medical devices must be safe and perform as designed. Risk or hazard analysis is the process that identifies what could make a device unsafe or stop it working as intended. This 60-minute medical device risk assessment webinar covers both the regulatory requirements and how to carry out the analysis.

21 CFR Part 820 calls for risk analysis as part of regulatory submissions and across the product lifecycle. ISO 14971, the risk management standard for medical devices, helps manufacturers identify hazards, estimate and evaluate risks, and put in place and monitor risk controls.

You'll follow a logical process from risk identification through rating and mitigation, including the risk management plan and documentation, asking the right questions, and the evaluation tools FTA, FMEA and FMECA.

Why attend: Sound risk and hazard analysis is the best way to prevent medical device recalls or limit their impact. It is required by FDA and is central to developing devices that protect patients and manufacturers alike. This session covers the basic principles of risk management and planning for device design and suits medical device manufacturers and anyone involved in making devices in a regulated environment.
