The requirements of this standard are applicable to all stages of the life-cycle of a medical device. This standard does not apply to clinical decision making. This standard does not specify acceptable risk levels. This standard does not require that the manufacturer have a quality management system in place. However, risk management can be an integral part of a quality management system.
