The various European Directives and Regulations for In Vitro Diagnostics and Medical Devices tell the manufacturers to assess the risk for the user and the patient, associated with the use of the device. Furthermore, good risk management will accelerate the development process, will provide useful information with respect to the manufacturing process and quality control, and will be a valuable source of information for troubleshooting, customer services, etc.
Neither the European Directive nor the Regulation specifies how risk management should be performed. However, harmonized standard ISO 14971 has been developed to explain how it can be done. Meeting the requirements of this harmonized standard, automatically implies compliance with the Directive’s and Regulations’ requirements on risk management.
ISO 14971 refers to risk management methodologies, such as Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), which are established methods commonly used in the different branches of the industry.
