# ISO 14971 Risk Analyzer Skill

## Purpose

The ISO 14971 Risk Analyzer Skill implements comprehensive risk management methodology per ISO 14971:2019 for medical devices, supporting hazard identification, risk estimation, risk control, and benefit-risk analysis throughout the device lifecycle.

## Capabilities

- Hazard identification questionnaire generation
- Hazardous situation analysis templates
- Risk estimation matrix configuration
- Risk acceptability criteria setup
- Risk control measure tracking
- Residual risk evaluation
- Benefit-risk analysis documentation
- Risk management plan templates
- Risk management report generation
- Post-production risk monitoring
- Risk control verification tracking

## Usage Guidelines

### When to Use
- Establishing risk management plans
- Conducting hazard analyses
- Evaluating risk acceptability
- Documenting benefit-risk determinations

### Prerequisites
- Device intended use defined
- Reasonably foreseeable misuse identified
- Risk acceptability criteria established
- State of the art research completed

### Best Practices
- Begin risk management at concept phase
- Maintain risk management file throughout lifecycle
- Review risks at each design phase gate
- Integrate with post-market surveillance

## Process Integration

This skill integrates with the following processes:
- Medical Device Risk Management (ISO 14971)
- Human Factors Engineering and Usability
- 510(k) Premarket Submission Preparation
- EU MDR Technical Documentation

## Dependencies

- ISO 14971:2019 standard
- Risk matrix templates
- Hazard databases
- Safety standards (IEC 60601, IEC 62366)
- Post-market data sources

## Configuration

```yaml
iso14971-risk-analyzer:
  risk-categories:
    - clinical
    - electrical
    - mechanical
    - software
    - biocompatibility
    - sterility
    - usability
  probability-levels: 5
