  • Syprosoft Engineering has extensive experience with the risk management process and follows the ISO 14971 standard - Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices. In accordance with this standard, we have helped our clients prepare and update their risk analyses by using both production and post-production data, and data from published literature. The table below shows an example of the types of production and post-production data used for the analysis.

  • Devices containing software have additional regulatory requirements based on Level of Concern. The FDA provides guidance on determining the Level of Concern for software.

  • Major Level of Concern: The level of concern is Major if a failure or latent flaw in the software could result in the death or serious injury to either the patient or the operator. The level of concern is also Major if a failure or latent flaw in the software could indirectly result in death or serious injury of the patient or operator through incorrect or delayed information or through the action of a care provider.
  • Moderate Level of Concern: The level of concern is Moderate if a failure or latent design flaw in the software could directly result in minor injury to the patient or operator. The level of concern is also Moderate if a failure or latent flaw in the software could indirectly result in minor injury to the patient or operator through incorrect or delayed information or through the action of a care provider.
  • Minor Level of Concern: The level of concern is Minor if failures or latent design flaws are unlikely to cause injury to the patient or operator.
