What is Risk Management?
Medical device risk management isn’t something you manage once and forget, it’s an ongoing responsibility that follows your device from design through the market and beyond. At 3i Concept, we help medical device manufacturers build a structured, audit ready risk management process that keeps every hazard identified, evaluated, and controlled in line with ISO 14971.
Whether you’re starting your Risk Management File from scratch or need to bring existing documentation up to date, our team works alongside you to ensure your device meets both regulatory expectations and real world safety standards.

What Our Risk Management Services Cover
Risk Analysis
Identifying hazards, hazardous situations, and reasonably misuse associated with your device.
Risk Evaluation
Estimating the probability and severity of each identified risk.
Risk Management Plan
A documented plan outlining scope, responsibilities, and acceptability criteria for your device
Risk Management File
compiling and maintaining a complete, inspection ready file that ties your risk documentation together.
Our Risk Management Process
Four clear steps to identify, control and monitor risk across your device’s full lifecycle.
Understand & Identify
We review your device's intended use, design and existing documentation, then systematically identify hazards, hazardous situations and foreseeable misuse.
Assess & Evaluate
We estimate the severity and probability of each risk and evaluate it against your defined acceptability criteria.
Control & Document
We recommend and verify risk control measures, evaluate residual risk and compile a complete, audit-ready Risk Management File.
Monitor & Update
We keep your file current with post-market surveillance data, complaints and design changes throughout the device lifecycle.
Built Around ISO 14971 Compliance
ISO 14971 is the international standard that governs risk management for medical devices, and it’s the backbone of everything we do in this service. Our approach to ISO compliance goes beyond checking boxes. We help you build a risk management system that genuinely reflects how your device is designed, manufactured, and used.
This means your ISO risk management documentation is structured to satisfy notified bodies, regulatory auditors, and your own internal quality team, supporting both CE marking and other global regulatory submissions that depend on sound compliance and risk management practices.
What Goes Into Your Risk Management File
A complete Risk Management File is a living document that grows with your device. Depending on your product and its lifecycle stage, we help you assemble:
- Risk Management Plan
- Risk Analysis records (hazard identification, foreseeable misuse, risk estimation)
- Risk Evaluation and acceptability criteria
- Risk Control measures and residual risk evaluation
- Benefit risk analysis (where residual risk requires justification)
- Risk Management Report
- Post market surveillance inputs and periodic updates

Frequently Asked Questions
A medical device risk management process is a systematic approach to identifying hazards, estimating and evaluating associated risks, implementing risk controls, and monitoring the effectiveness of those controls throughout the device lifecycle. ISO 14971:2019 provides the internationally recognized framework for this process.
A Risk Management File is the collection of records and documents that demonstrate how risks associated with a medical device have been identified, evaluated, controlled, and monitored. It provides documented evidence of the manufacturer’s risk management activities throughout the device lifecycle.
ISO 14971:2019 is the international standard for applying risk management to medical devices. It establishes a structured process for identifying hazards, estimating and evaluating risks, controlling risks, and monitoring the effectiveness of risk controls throughout the device lifecycle.
A typical risk management process includes defining the risk management plan, identifying hazards and hazardous situations, estimating and evaluating risks, implementing risk controls, evaluating residual risks, conducting benefit risk analysis where applicable, and collecting and reviewing production and post production information.
Depending on the device and applicable requirements, a Risk Management File can include the risk management plan, risk analysis records, risk evaluation, risk control measures, residual risk evaluation, benefit risk analysis, and risk management report, along with relevant production and post production information.
Risk management is part of the EU MDR conformity framework. The MDR requires manufacturers to establish, document, implement and maintain a risk management system, and the technical documentation must include information on benefit risk analysis and the solutions adopted and results of risk management.
Risk control involves selecting and implementing measures to reduce identified risks. The effectiveness of those measures is then evaluated, including consideration of the resulting residual risks. ISO 14971 places risk control at the center of the systematic risk management process.
