What You'll Learn

What is ISO 14971, and why it's important?

ISO 14971 is the international standard for risk management of medical devices. It provides a systematic framework for identifying hazards, estimating and evaluating risks, implementing risk control measures, and monitoring the effectiveness of those measures throughout the medical device lifecycle.

Risk management in medical devices is crucial because it directly impacts patient safety, product quality, and regulatory compliance. Without a robust risk management process, manufacturers face challenges such as product recalls, regulatory penalties, and increased liability.
