Why you should attend: There are a variety of tools that can be used in conjunction with the Risk Management activities under ISO 14971. None is more widely used by medical device manufacturers than Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. The tool is a tool designed for reliability however, and has been widely misused in medical device Risk Management. It does not fulfill the requirements for a risk analysis, but it is presented by manufacturers as their "Risk Analysis" when requested by auditors and FDA inspectors.

  • The presentation will also discuss how the tool is often misused
  • The presentation will include a model for risk analysis using FMEA and other tools
