ISO 14971 Medical Device Risk Management and Analysis Training

How companies manage risk associated with their devices throughout the product life cycle is getting more scrutiny from regulators. The EU Medical Device Regulation, MDSAP Audit Model, and the latest versions of ISO 14971 and ISO/TR 24971 have put a spotlight on risk management as a foundational process in your quality management system. In this course you will learn the importance of applying ISO 14971:2019 from a product focus through a device’s full life cycle. Learn how to treat risk management as a foundational process of your quality management system, and how it integrates with other key processes. We also offer an ISO 14971 class for combination products and one focused on device cybersecurity risk.
