Risk Management Systems: Implications of ISO 14971, ISO/TR 24971 & EU MDR Updates
On December 1, 2019, the third edition of the Organization on International Standards (ISO) 14971 was released, bringing the medical device industry back to a single recognized version of risk management. While the overall processes remain unchanged, the scope of risk management has expanded to include data and security, as well as an increased focus on production and post-production activities.
Moving forward, manufacturers will be required to clearly define intended clinical benefits of medical device(s) and properly evaluate them for both individual and overall residual risks after completion of mitigation activities. Manufacturers must also ensure that documentation of the conclusions of risk management activities are recorded within the completed risk management reports.
