REST ASSURED! MEDICAL DEVICE SOFTWARE
Solution Overview
Want to be certain that your medical device software lives up
to your and your customer’s expectations and complies with regulatory
requirements?
Did you Know? Since 2004, all manufacturers of medical
devices have to produce evidences of risk management according to the ISO
standard 14971:2000, “Application of risk management to medical devices”,
in order to comply with the European Directives for placing such
equipments on the market. The manufacturer is
required to establish documented requirements for risk management
throughout product realization and to maintain records arising from risk
management.
REST ASSURED!
MEDICAL DEVICE SOFTWARE is a complete solution developed to produce
documented evidence that the
process of validating the software components of a medical device also
complies with this ISO standard. If your organisation is manufacturing or,
as user, is responsible for integrating such devices in a wider
operational infrastructure, choose, REST ASSURED! MEDICAL DEVICE SOFTWARE
for complete confidence that the process of software validation is based on risk analysis
addressing all hazards known or reasonably foreseeable which may affect
the safety and health of patients, users, or, where applicable, other
persons.
Why
is risk management essential for the validation of medical device
software?
- The purpose of risk
management is to identify potential problems before they occur, so that
activities may be planned and executed as needed across the life of the
product to mitigate adverse impacts on the quality of products
compromising the safety and health of patients, users, or, where
applicable, other persons.
- Software plays an
increasingly important role in the quality and performance of medical
devices. However, software is also one of the high-risk components of
such devices. It is , therefore, essential to embed the validation
process in a continuous process of risk
management
- Risk management helps to
focus the validation activities on critical issues making the process
more effective and efficient
An
Effective and Efficient Validation Process To Give You
Confidence
Tesnet Group’s solution
consist of the following chief components:
- Implementation of a Risk
Management Process in conformance with ISO 14971 including the sub-processes
Risk analysis, Risk evaluation, Risk control, and Postproduction
information feedback.
- Validation Planning
to define
validation activities, responsibilities, and
procedures
- Review of specifications and
construction, including code or
configuration
- Testing activities, such as test
planning, test design, test execution, test
documentation
- Validation Reporting
to review
all the validation deliverables and activities against the validation
plan and to summarize the evidences and conclusions to report that the
system is
validated.

Methodology Highlights
REST ASSURED! MEDICAL DEVICE SOFTWARE™
Methodology
Risk management as an
iterative process encompassing both risk assessment and risk minimization.
We
identify the medical device class
Device
classification, established both by the European Directive for medical
devices and the FDA, depends on the intended use of the device as well as
the risk the device poses to the patient and/or the user.
We
identify potential risks
Depending on the
identified device class and its criticality, we perform a more or less
extensive risk analysis to identify potential risks. For each identified
risk/hazard, we develop a list of initiating causes which may originate
from human factors, hardware faults, software faults, integration. We
prefer to begin this process early in the life cycle, as requirements are
specified, so that the developers of the product can utilize the outputs
of the analysis to initiate measures to minimize or eliminate risks. We
update the risk identification with progress in the life cycle of the
product development.
We
evaluate the identified risks
For each identified
risk/hazard, we assess the severity of impact, or, to use FDA’s
terminology, the “Level of Concern”, which may be classified as High,
Medium, Low or Major, Moderate, Minor. Then, we assign each identified
risk/hazard a level of likelihood of occurrence of a fault causing the
risk, and a level of
likelihood of detecting the fault before its impact on the safety of
patients and/or users.. Using the three criteria: severity of impact,
likelihood of occurrence and detection, each identified risk/hazard is
assigned a risk priority.
We
develop and execute a risk mitigation
plan
We develop a plan to
eliminate or mitigate the identified risk to an acceptable level. The
mitigation strategy focuses on the high priority risks.
- We perform reviews
to verify that the manufacturer has implemented risk control methods
such as safe design (or redesign after the risk analysis), risk
reduction through protective measures or adequate warning information
and/or training for the user.
- We design and
execute tests to verify that the control methods have achieved their
purpose without introducing new
risks/hazards
- We, finally,
validate the application to ensure that it fulfils all specified user
requirements and that all risks have been brought down to the level of
minor concern.
We help
to integrate postproduction information into the risk management
process
We help to establish
procedures to review and feed back postproduction experience into the risk
management loop to apply protective action and reduce risk potential in
future.
