ISO 14971 Medical Devices - Testing for the Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices

The process described in this document is intended to assist medical device manufacturers in identifying medical device-related hazards, predicting and evaluating associated risks, controlling those risks, and monitoring the effectiveness of controls.

The requirements of this document apply to all phases of a medical device's lifecycle. The process described in this document applies to risks associated with a medical device, such as risks related to biocompatibility, data and system security, electrical, moving parts, radiation, and usability.

The process described in this document can also be applied to products that are not required to be medical devices in some jurisdictions and may be used by others involved in the medical device lifecycle .

This document does not apply to:

  • Decisions regarding the use of a medical device in the context of any particular clinical procedure; or
  • Business risk management.

This document requires manufacturers to establish objective criteria for risk acceptability, but does not specify acceptable levels of risk.

Risk management can be an integral part of a quality management system. However, this document does not require the manufacturer to have a quality management system in place.

Guidance on the implementation of this document can be found in ISO/TR 24971 .
