Mark of Mayo

When medical devices are created for use on patients, there are robust systems engineering principles that must be applied to ensure that the devices are as safe as reasonably possible. Safety risk management is a parallel and complementary process to the product development process. This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between product development and safety risk management throughout the product development lifecycle.
