The Challenge
In today’s highly regulated healthcare landscape, medical device manufacturers face mounting pressure to ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance, and product reliability. A single oversight in risk management can trigger severe consequences—ranging from costly recalls and reputational damage to regulatory penalties and, most importantly, patient harm. The challenge is compounded by the fact that risk management is not a one‑time activity but a continuous process that must be embedded into every stage of the product lifecycle. Standards such as ISO 13485:2016 require documented processes for risk management, while the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and Europe’s MDR 2017/745 mandate rigorous oversight of design controls, post‑market surveillance, and risk mitigation. With global regulatory bodies tightening their expectations, manufacturers need a partner who not only understands the complexities of applying risk management per the ISO 14971:2019 but can also streamline the process for long‑term success.
