Scope

What we execute and what you receive

We create and integrate risk management so it drives design decisions and stands up to inspection.

Risk activities we run

  • Risk management plan and file setup
  • Hazard identification and risk analysis methods
  • Severity and probability definitions suited to your device
  • Risk evaluation criteria and acceptability matrix
  • Risk controls selection and verification planning
  • Software risk and cybersecurity linkages when applicable
  • Usability and clinical considerations for risk
  • Production and post production information process
  • Change control and periodic risk review

Deliverables you bring to audit

  • Risk management plan and procedures
  • Hazard analysis with controls and residual risk
  • Traceability to design inputs, verification and validation
  • Risk benefit analysis where required
  • Software and cybersecurity risk artifacts
  • Usability risk summary and mitigations
  • Production and post production data reviews
  • Management review and CAPA linkages for risk topics
How it works

From hazard analysis to verified controls step by step

We align activities with your device and team so each hour builds evidence and clear traceability.

Risk review workshop with controls and traceability
Analyze

Identify hazards, define harm and estimate risks with criteria that match your device.

Control

Select controls, verify effectiveness and link to design inputs and tests.

Monitor

Collect production and post production data and update risk files with real feedback.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you integrate risk with design controls?

Yes. Risk drives inputs and verification and remains visible in technical documentation and records.

How do you size the effort for our device?

We adjust methods and depth based on class, novelty and intended use to keep the work practical and compliant.

Can you help with software and cybersecurity risk?

Yes. We include software risk per IEC 62304 and link cybersecurity controls into the risk file where applicable.

How often should we review risk after launch?

At minimum annually and whenever post production data indicates changes in frequency, severity or detection.
