Safe medical software development
Why deal with Product Risk Management
Random Systematic
• Errors are a fact of life – they were alway with us, and are here to stay.
• Types of errors:

12. 12ANNUAL USER CONFERENCE 2020
Safe medical software development
Why deal with Product Risk Management
Random
hardware errors
Systematic
errors
• We can calculate,
estimate, and plan for
failures
• Control:
• FMEA, DFMEA, PFMEA,
FMEDA and others
• ISO 60601 series
Systematic process errors
(SW & HW Designs)
Control:
ISO 13485
ISO 14971
ISO 62304/82304 and
others
