Medical device risk management training overview
The requirements contained in ISO 14971 provide medical device manufacturers and suppliers with a framework to manage the risks associated with medical devices. ISO 14971 covers a vast array of medical product types and technical disciplines to address specific classes of risk, such as usability, software, and biocompatibility.
Regulatory and risk practitioners often benefit from guidance and insight gained through structured learning sessions on risk management principles and applying those principles to their unique device types. Our risk management training courses are intended to provide a deep understanding of risk management principles, tools, and techniques. Course offerings include specialized technical disciplines in the context of a risk management framework, noting that many regulators and requirements call for “risk-based” approaches. Custom courses are also available for individual product types, which can include case studies built on client-specific applications.
Fixed fee ISO 14971 training
Our training fee is based on a set fee plus expenses, regardless of how many employees attend. This provides great value for companies that need to train three or more employees at one time. On-site training gives your employees the opportunity to ask questions (something they cannot do with public or online classes) and helps verify that every employee is receiving consistent information.
