scope:
As explained in the Introduction, a risk management system applying to all medical devices is required. Risks exist throughout the product life cycle, and risks that become apparent at one point in the life cycle may be managed by action taken at a completely different point in the life cycle. For this reason, this Standard is intended to be a complete life cycle standard. This means that it instructs manufacturers to apply risk management principles to a medical device from its initial conception until its ultimate decommissioning and disposal.
