Risk Analysis Workflow

Identify hazards and estimate risks systematically.

Workflow: Conduct Risk Analysis

Define intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse:
- Medical indication
- Patient population
- User population
- Use environment
Select analysis method(s):
- FMEA for component/function analysis
- FTA for system-level analysis
- HAZOP for process deviations
- Use Error Analysis for user interaction
Identify hazards by category:
- Energy hazards (electrical, mechanical, thermal)
- Biological hazards (bioburden, biocompatibility)
- Chemical hazards (residues, leachables)
- Operational hazards (software, use errors)
Determine hazardous situations:
- Sequence of events
- Foreseeable misuse scenarios
- Single fault conditions
Estimate probability of harm (P1-P5)
Estimate severity of harm (S1-S5)

See: references/risk-analysis-methods.md

Risk Evaluation Workflow

Evaluate risks against acceptability criteria.

Workflow: Evaluate Identified Risks

Calculate initial risk level from probability × severity
Compare to risk acceptability criteria
For each risk, determine:
- Acceptable: Document and accept
- ALARP: Proceed to risk control
- Unacceptable: Mandatory risk control
Document evaluation rationale
Identify risks requiring benefit-risk analysis
Complete benefit-risk analysis if applicable
Compile risk evaluation summary
Validation: All risks evaluated; acceptability determined; rationale documented

Risk Evaluation Decision Tree

Risk Estimated
      │
      ▼
Apply Acceptability Criteria
      │
      ├── Low Risk ──────────► Accept and document
      │
      ├── Medium Risk ───────► Consider risk reduction
      │   │                    Document ALARP if not reduced
      │   ▼
      │   Practicable to reduce?
      │   │
      │   Yes──► Implement control
      │   No───► Document ALARP rationale
      │
      ├── High Risk ─────────► Risk reduction required
      │   │                    Must demonstrate ALARP
      │   ▼
      │   Implement control
      │   Verify residual risk
      │
      └── Unacceptable ──────► Design change mandatory
                               Cannot proceed without control

ALARP Demonstration Requirements

Criterion	Evidence Required
Technical feasibility	Analysis of alternative controls
Proportionality	Cost-benefit of further reduction

Risk Control Workflow

Implement and verify risk control measures.

Workflow: Implement Risk Controls

Identify risk control options:
- Inherent safety by design (Priority 1)
- Protective measures in device (Priority 2)
- Information for safety (Priority 3)
Select optimal control following hierarchy
Analyze control for new hazards introduced
Document control in design requirements
Implement control in design
Develop verification protocol
Execute verification and document results
Evaluate residual risk with control in place
