Engineers are dedicated to making things work, so a focus on how they might fail and harm someone can seem alien.
Managing risk, however, is essential for all medical products- medical devices, including those involving software, have produced some painful examples of poor risk management with serious consequences. Experience has shown that there is a better way, that it is possible to manage risk in a changing business and technical world.
Regulatory bodies are placing increased emphasis on risk management, and technology shifts are introducing new sources of risk. Newer Lean-Agile methods are recognized by the FDA as a good way to accomplish risk management.
Techniques for risk management are well established, but require specific interpretation when applied to software. In this session, we will show a way of knitting risk management into the development process, so that it is integral to product development, not a ten ton caboose dragging the train back down the mountain.
Perhaps your engineering team is beginning its transition to an Agile approach - or perhaps you have a seasoned Agile team and you're just beginning work on FDA-regulated products. You know that risk management is required, but it's not at all clear how you should address it as you go through your backlog grooming, iterations, and end-user demonstrations. The process in ISO 14971 seems "linear" and unsuited to a highly iterative, dynamic lifecycle. How can you fit it into your approach?
Software brings great capability to medical devices, but also creates hazards
Consider how the key standards lay out the roadmap for managing risk
Understand the key concepts - hazard, risk, and harm
Walk through ISO 14971 in detail - and consider IEC 80002-1 for specific software concerns
Fault tree analysis and FMEA complement each other for risk analysis
Risk analysis for software is different from hardware - and needs a place in the lifecycle
Story mapping helps bring risk management directly into development
An incremental approach manages both risk and quality
