Effective risk management for medical devices and IVDs has never been more critical than it is today. As lessons are learned from real-world incidents and events, consequently, regulatory requirements for safety and performance tighten. As the complexity of devices increases, along with the systems in which they operate, manufacturers must navigate a challenging landscape to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their products. But once you move beyond the requirements of ISO 14971:2019, what sets successful risk management apart? One part of the answer lies in effective communication; from hazard identification, via the disclosure of residual risks, to field safety notices.

Join us for an eye-opening 30-minute presentation and additional 15 minutes of Q&A, where RQM+ Manager of Intelligence and Strategic Execution, Ed Ball, MSc CEng MIPEM, will explore the vital role of communication throughout the risk management activities conducted over the course of the medical devices lifecycle. Drawing from his extensive experience in the industry, having worked for the UK’s MHRA and several device manufacturers, Ed will share insights and strategies to help you elevate your risk management processes.
