ISO 14971:2007 Medical Devices Risk Management Training Course

Course Category: Medical Devices Quality Management Systems (QMS)  

Course Title: Medical Device Risk Management based on ISO 14971:2007

This ISO 14971:2007 is the specified standard for risk management used to demonstrate compliance with the Risk Management requirements of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive (IVDD). Additionally, review of the MDD by the European Commission concluded that manufacturers did not address risk management sufficiently, hence the increased emphasis on risk requirements in the update to the MDD. The revision to ISO 14971 has also been implemented to address these requirements. This course provides a thorough introduction and interpretation of ISO 14971:2007 risk management, throughout the product lifecycle, including a summary of the latest changes to the standard.
