Goals

Risk management is the linchpin of medical device law. In this workshop, you will learn to avoid risk management mistakes that can lead to problems in audits and delays in the "approval" of your medical devices.

Content:

  • Regulatory Requirements
    You know the relevant standards, laws, directives, regulations and guidelines as well as their interaction.
  • Risk acceptance
    You are able to determine acceptable and unacceptable risks for your medical device.
  • Risk analysis
    You can apply risk analysis procedures such as PHA, FMEA and FTA and systematically identify hazards for your medical device.
  • Risk control
    You know what approaches are available to manage the risks posed by your medical device and thereby maximize the safety of your patients.
  • Risk management documentation and audit
    You are able to create an ISO 14971 compliant risk management file and know the typical findings in audits when creating the documents.
  • Risk management in design controls and product life cycle
    You know how to integrate the activities of the risk management process into your development process and how to establish market surveillance in compliance with the law.
  • Special considerations for software
    You have answers to software-specific questions on, for example, probability estimation, software security classes, and typical risks posed by software.

This seminar thus provides you not only with a comprehensive knowledge, but also with the skills to create and review the risk management files for your medical devices and to coordinate the activities related to risk management.

Agenda

The seminar lasts two days, with a focus on practical relevance. The lectures alternate with case studies and numerous exercises. We are happy to discuss your specific files and subject them to a "quick check" if desired.
