Live Webinar ISO 14971 Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices Description The medical device/equipment field is one of the most heavily regulated industries, for obvious reasons. Medical equipment are an important tool in efforts to improve patient care and treatment outcomes. However, today’s advanced medical devices usually consist of unique combinations of mechanical, electrical and electronic components and technologies that are frequently controlled by software or programmable controllers. As a result, international regulations and standards applicable to medical devices are being continuously revised and updated to reflect potential safety issues that can result from increasingly complex device designs. While all medical device and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturers that claim conformity to ISO 14971:2007 should be familiar with the risk management documentation requirements established in this standard, small and medium-sized manufacturers frequently encounter challenges in preparing their risk management files, especially those wishing to market CE marked devices in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 14971:2012. This Webinar provides an introduction to risk/benefit analysis concepts for medical devices and IVDs, including a general overview of the differences between these two versions of ISO 14971 and the European Directives in relation to risk/benefit analysis, and descriptions and summaries of the tools and resources available for use in these types of analyses. Why should you attend : This Webinar is geared toward those who require a working knowledge/understanding of ISO 14971 Areas Covered The areas that will be discussed in the webinar will include the following topics: Introduction and History of ISO 14971 Design Controls & Risk Management Risk Management Process Overview Role of Management in Risk Management Risk Management Plan Risk Management File Risk Assessment = Risk Analysis + Risk Evaluation Risk Controls Overall Residual Risk Acceptability Risk Management Report Production & Post-Production Information Who will benefit Medical Equipment industry Managers, Supervisors, Employees, Electronic Industry Managers, Supervisors, Employees, Quality Assurance Personnel, Strategic Planners, Technical Consultants Instructor Profile Mike Colvin Ph.D. Mike has over 30 years experience developing medical devices and systems.
