The reader is familiarized with the vocabulary of risk management and guided through a process to ensure compliance with the international standard ISO 14971--a requirement for all medical devices. This book outlines sensible, easily comprehensible, and state-of the-art methodologies that are rooted in current industry best practices. </p> <p>Opening chapters introduce the concept of risk, the legal basis for risk management, and the requirements for a compliant risk-management process. The next group of chapters discusses the connection between risk management and quality systems, usability engineering and biocompatibility. This book delves into the techniques of risk management, such as fault tree analysis and failure modes and effects analysis, and continues with risk estimation, risk control, and risk evaluation. Special topics such as software risk management, clinical investigations, and security are also discussed. The latter chapters address benefit-risk analysis, and production and postproduction monitoring. This book concludes with advice and wisdom for sensible, efficient, and successful safety risk management of medical devices.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bijan Elahi is an expert in risk management and systems engineering and the winner of the Educator of the Year Award from the International System Safety Society.
