Medical Devices by their very nature must be safe for human use and must meet the requirements for which they have been designed.  The process which identifies the risks associated with a medical device that could make the device unsafe or not function as intended is called Risk/Hazard Analysis.

21 CFR Section 820 requires that comprehensive risk analysis be performed as part of the medical device regulatory submissions process and throughout the product’s lifecycle.  ISO 14971 is the risk management standard for medical devices. Its purpose is to help manufacturers establish a risk management process that can be used to identify hazards, estimate and evaluate risks, and develop, implement, and monitor the effectiveness of risk control measures.  This webinar will discuss both the regulatory requirements and the process for conducting effective Risk/Hazard Analysis.

Course Objectives:

The tools and techniques of Risk Analysis and the rating process used to evaluate the risks identified will be presented and discussed – Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Mode Effects Analysis, and Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis.

At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to discuss the importance of risk analysis in the design, development, and fielding of medical devices and most importantly to apply the risk management process to their medical device design operations.
