It does not apply to clinical decision making, does not specify acceptable risk levels and does not require that the manufacturer have a quality management system in place. However, risk management can be an integral part of a quality management system.
How does it work? BS EN ISO 14971 was developed specifically for medical device/system manufacturers using established principles of risk management. For other manufacturers, e.g., in other healthcare industries, this standard could be used as informative guidance in developing and maintaining a risk management system and process. It deals with processes for managing risks, primarily...
