Abstract

GUERRA BRETANA, Rosa Mayelín  and  SOSA VERA, Rita Catalina. Risk management guidance for diagnostic medical devices. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2023, vol.42  Epub May 10, 2023. ISSN 1561-3011.

Introduction:

Manufacturers of medical devices do not always have the expertise to perform a risk management process that complies with ISO 14971:2019 and includes the necessary metrological requirements; therefore, for better use of these devices, especially diagnostic devices, a risk management process based on established regulations should be implemented and maintained.

Objective:

To provide guidance for the management of indirect risks in patients with incorrect or delayed diagnoses.

Methods:

Applicable international standards were reviewed and risk management dossiers for medical devices, including in-vitro diagnostic reagents, were analyzed.

Results:

The guidance provides guiding elements for each step of the risk management process for diagnostic medical devices: risk management plan, risk analysis, risk assessment, risk evaluation and control, overall residual risk assessment, risk management review, and feedback from production or post-production information.

Conclusions:

This guide is a useful tool for designers, manufacturers, evaluators of diagnostic medical devices, risk management and device quality assessors, and medical personnel.

Keywords : medical devices; diagnostic techniques and procedures; risk assessment and mitigation.
