Component supplier for medical devices Qosina has published a new white paper focusing on what the medical device industry can learn from recent plane crashes.
“What Can the Medical Device Industry Learn from the Boeing 737 MAX 8 Crashes?” discusses the criticality of updating your medical device risk analysis throughout the product lifecycle, conducting proper complaint investigation and designing for human factors.
Risk management is a crucial part of any design and development process. There is a series of checks and balances that must be met, and companies must have an established risk management process in place that complies with industry regulations.
In the case of the two recent 737 MAX 8 plane crashes, a great deal of time has been spent trying to determine the root cause of the crashes. One notion is that critical components and software failed due to improperly conducted risk analyses early in the design stage.
