Why do we need Risk Management?
May 27, 2015
Don’t just execute the standards,learn and understand why they exist
● ISO 14971○ Application of risk management to medical devices
● ISO 13485○ Quality management systems
● FDA.gov
ISO 14971 is the industry standard
Risk Management Strategy
1) Risk Management Planning
2) Risk Analysis
3) Risk Evaluation
4) Risk Control
5) Residual Risk Evaluation
6) Risk Management Report/File

Method Purpose
Hazard Analysis Identify hazards and drive design decisions
Application FMEA Identify user failures and prevention
Fault Tree Analysis Top-down approach starting with unintended consequences
Design FMEA Identify potential design failures from sub-component level
Process FMEA Identify potential process failures (i.e. manufacturing)
