These medical devices come with strict regulations to ensure it is fit for purpose, and that the organisation is using them correctly. These regulations are enshrined in national and international law and cover various factors surrounding them in practice and during the manufacturing stage. These primarily focus on the factors of risk management and quality control.
It is also important for the organisation to manage risks while the device is being used. Conducting risk assessments prior to its implementation is crucial in ensuring the safety of all those involved. Analysing the potential risks associated with the device allows those in charge of risk management to create risk management plans that highlight all preventative measures, and possible corrective actions in situations where risks do occur.
