About the training

The safety of medical devices is largely based on the processes by which these devices are manufactured. It is therefore essential to be able to identify and manage the risks associated with these processes, as required by the latest edition of EN ISO 13485:2016. It sounds simple, but the following questions soon arise:

• What is a process risk anyway?
• Which processes need to be addressed from a risk perspective and when?
• What is the basis for risk treatment and how is it carried out?
• How much does experience count in product risk assessment – is the methodology transferable?
• Which guidelines (standards) can be relied opon?
• How to maintain effective process risk management in medical device manufacturing?

Content

• Documents – the origin of the requirement and basic concepts
• Standards and editions addressing process risk management, types of risks
• Requirements for manufacturers – direct and indirect
• Guidance for risk-based QMS
• Introduction of the Risk-Based Approach
• Product and process risks
