SIQ: Online workshop: Medical Device Risk Assessment

This workshop will be in English and is part of our new academy cooperation with the Slowenian notified body SIQ!

About the training

Is it sufficient for the manufacturer to state before dispatching a batch of products that the product does not carry any risks? Absolutely not, as it is the responsibility of the manufacturer, together with the designer and developer, to manage the risks involved throughout the life cycle of the products. It sounds simple, but the question soon arises: What is a risk anyway?

When should a risk assessment be carried out? What is a risk and how to assess it? Is it enough to write down that a certain hazardous situation occurs „frequently“ and another „rarely“? What if the risk is too high?

Aim

  • This workshop will provide participants with the basic definitions and detailed requirements for medical device risk management.
  • The focus is on a risk assessment as a central requirement.

Your Trainer

Rok Hrovatin started assessing the risk of medical devices only a few years before Slovenia’s accession to the EU. The transposition of European directives has established requirements in this area with the Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42 / EEC). He gained experience and knowledge as the head of the testing laboratory for medical devices at SIQ, and soon after that also as a leading auditor in the field of medical devices and as a lecturer in this field.

Location: ONLINE

The online workshop will take place in a live online e-classroom. Up to two days before the implementation, registered participants will receive a link to the online training. Participants need a computer with a microphone and a camera, as well as access to a reliably functioning internet connection to participate in online training without interruption.
