Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices (ISO 14971:2019)

This document specifies terminology, principles and a process for risk management of medical devices, including software as a medical device and in vitro diagnostic medical devices. The process described in this document intends to assist manufacturers of medical devices to identify the hazards associated with the medical device, to estimate and evaluate the associated risks, to control these risks, and to monitor the effectiveness of the controls.
The requirements of this document are applicable to all phases of the life cycle of a medical device. The process described in this document applies to risks associated with a medical device, such as risks related to biocompatibility, data and systems security, electricity, moving parts, radiation, and usability.
The process described in this document can also be applied to products that are not necessarily medical devices in some jurisdictions and can also be used by others involved in the medical device life cycle.
This document does not apply to:
—          decisions on the use of a medical device in the context of any particular clinical procedure; or
—          business risk management.
This document requires manufacturers to establish objective criteria for risk acceptability but does not specify acceptable risk levels.
Risk management can be an integral part of a quality management system. However, this document does not require the manufacturer to have a quality management system in place.
NOTE       Guidance on the application of this document can be found in ISO/TR 24971[9].

Medizinprodukte - Anwendung des Risikomanagements auf Medizinprodukte (ISO 14971:2019)

Dispositifs médicaux - Application de la gestion des risques aux dispositifs médicaux (ISO 14971:2019)

Le présent document spécifie la terminologie, les principes et un processus de gestion des risques relatifs aux dispositifs médicaux, y compris les logiciels utilisés en tant que dispositifs médicaux et les dispositifs médicaux de diagnostic in vitro. Le processus décrit dans le présent document vise à aider les fabricants de dispositifs médicaux à identifier les dangers associés au dispositif médical, à estimer et évaluer les risques correspondants, à maîtriser ces risques et à surveiller l'efficacité des moyens de maîtrise.
Les exigences du présent document s'appliquent à tous les stades du cycle de vie d'un dispositif médical. Le processus décrit dans le présent document s'applique aux risques associés à un dispositif médical, tels que les risques concernant la biocompatibilité, la sécurité des données et des systèmes, l'électricité, les parties en mouvement, le rayonnement et l'aptitude à l'utilisation.
Le processus décrit dans le présent document peut aussi s'appliquer aux produits qui ne sont pas nécessairement des dispositifs médicaux dans certaines juridictions et peut être utilisé par d'autres personnes impliquées dans le cycle de vie de dispositifs médicaux.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas à ce qui suit:
—          les décisions relatives à l'utilisation d'un dispositif médical au cours d'une procédure clinique particulière; ou
—          la gestion des risques commerciaux.
Le présent document impose aux fabricants d'établir des critères objectifs d'acceptabilité des risques, mais ne spécifie pas de niveaux de risque acceptables.
La gestion des risques peut faire partie intégrante d'un système de management de la qualité. Cependant, le présent document n'exige pas du fabricant qu'il mette en place un système de management de la qualité.
NOTE       Des recommandations relatives à l'application du présent document sont données dans l'ISO/TR 24971[9].

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

SIST EN ISO 14971 : 2020
Evropski predgovor
Ta dokument (EN ISO 14971:2019) je pripravil tehnični odbor ISO/TC 210 "Vodenje kakovosti in ustrezni
splošni vidiki za medicinske pripomočke" v sodelovanju s tehničnim odborom CEN/CLC/TC 3 "Vodenje
kakovosti in ustrezni splošni vidiki za medicinske pripomočke", katerega sekretariat vodi NEN.

Ta evropski standard mora dobiti status nacionalnega standarda bodisi z objavo istovetnega besedila
ali z razglasitvijo najpozneje do junija 2020, nacionalne standarde, ki so v nasprotju s tem standardom,
pa je treba razveljaviti najpozneje do junija 2020.

Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da so nekateri elementi tega dokumenta lahko predmet patentnih pravic.
CEN ne prevzema odgovornosti za identifikacijo posameznih ali vseh takih patentnih pravic.

Ta dokument nadomešča EN ISO 14971:2012.

V skladu z notranjimi predpisi CEN-CENELEC morajo ta evropski standard obvezno uvesti nacionalne

Predgovor
ISO (Mednarodna organizacija za standardizacijo) je svetovna zveza nacionalnih organov za standarde
(članov ISO). Mednarodne standarde navadno pripravljajo tehnični odbori ISO. Vsak član, ki želi delovati
na določenem področju, za katero je bil ustanovljen tehnični odbor, ima pravico biti zastopan v tem
odboru. Pri delu sodelujejo tudi mednarodne vladne in nevladne organizacije, povezane z ISO. V vseh
zadevah, ki so povezane s standardizacijo na področju elektrotehnike, ISO tesno sodeluje z
Mednarodno elektrotehniško komisijo (IEC).
Postopki, uporabljeni pri pripravi tega dokumenta, in predvideni postopki za njegovo vzdrževanje so
opisani v Direktivah ISO/IEC, 1. del. Posebna pozornost naj se nameni različnim kriterijem odobritve,
potrebnim za različne vrste dokumentov ISO. Ta dokument je bil pripravljen v skladu z uredniškimi pravili
Direktiv ISO/IEC, 2. del (glej www.iso.org/directives).
Opozoriti je treba, da so nekateri elementi tega dokumenta lahko predmet patentnih pravic. ISO ne
prevzema odgovornosti za identifikacijo posameznih ali vseh takih patentnih pravic. Podrobnosti o
morebitnih patentnih pravicah, opredeljenih med pripravo tega dokumenta, bodo navedene v uvodu
in/ali na seznamu ISO s prejetimi patentnimi izjavami (glej www.iso.org/patents).
Morebitna trgovska imena, uporabljena v tem dokumentu, so informacije za uporabnike in ne pomenijo
podpore blagovni znamki.
Za razlago prostovoljne narave standardov, pomena specifičnih pojmov in izrazov ISO, povezanih z
ugotavljanjem skladnosti, ter informacij o tem, kako ISO spoštuje načela Svetovne trgovinske
organizacije (WTO) v tehničnih ovirah pri trgovanju (TBT), glej spletno mesto
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
Ta dokument sta pripravila tehnični odbor ISO/TC 210, Vodenje kakovosti in ustrezni splošni vidiki za
medicinske pripomočke, in IEC/SC 62A, Skupni vidiki električne opreme, ki se uporablja v medicinski
praksi.
Ta tretja izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča drugo izdajo (ISO 14971:2007), ki je strokovno revidirana.
Glavne spremembe glede na predhodno različico so naslednje:
‒ vključena je točka glede zvez s standardi za upoštevanje zahtev, določenih v 15. točki 2. dela
Direktiv ISO/IEC:2018;
‒ definirani izrazi so posodobljeni in številni izhajajo iz ISO/IEC Vodila 63:2019. Definirani izrazi so
natisnjeni v ležeči pisavi za pomoč bralcem pri prepoznavanju izrazov v glavnem delu besedila;
‒ vključene so definicije za korist, razumno predvidljivo napačno uporabo in stanje tehnike;
‒ več pozornosti je namenjeno koristim, ki se pričakujejo od uporabe medicinskega pripomočka. Izraz
analize razmerja med koristmi in tveganji je usklajen s terminologijo, ki se uporablja v nekaterih
predpisih;
‒ pojasnjeno je, da se lahko proces, opisan v standardu ISO 14971, uporablja za obvladovanje
tveganja, povezanega z medicinskimi pripomočki, vključno s tistimi, ki so povezani z varnostjo
podatkov in sistemov;
