... includes all measures for the systematic identification, analysis, assessment, monitoring and control of risks. It is considered an ongoing process in which planning, implementation, monitoring and improvement take place continuously.
... should start BEFORE you start development. By working with your team to define all risks from the start, and then planning to manage them, hence we're able to remove any stumbling blocks at an early stage. This saves you a lot of time and money when it comes to implementing the necessary measures later on.
... Risk management can never stand alone. It is linked to usability, labelling, performance evaluation, PMS. Risk management accompanies development and only ends after the product is no longer available on the market and its durability has expired.
... is our expertise, as our employees have extensive knowledge and many years of experience in the development of in vitro diagnostics and their regulatory requirements.
EN ISO 14971: Application of risk management to medical devices
Both the IVDR and different harmonized standards require a risk management process. EN ISO 14971 describes a process for the “application of risk management to medical devices” including in vitro diagnostics. The standard offers a procedure enabling the manufacturer to identify, assess, and control the risks linked to its device.
No other standard is so closely related to other standards. Give EN ISO 14971 the attention it deserves!
We will be happy to discuss the initial details with you in our free consultation.

The risk management file
The risk management file as an element of the technical documentation documents all activities that are planned and executed in the context of risk management. For you as the manufacturer it is documented proof that you completed all required activities.
All standard?
Directive 93/42/EEC and regulation 2017/745, DIN EN 60601-1, DIN EN ISO 10993-1, DIN EN 62304, DIN EN 62366… Did you really consider everything?
