Risk Management File

Audit-Proof Safety Documentation. Built from the Ground Up.

Safety Cannot Be Retrofitted

Treating risk management as a 'paperwork exercise' after development is complete is the fastest way to trigger a 'Refuse to Accept' (RTA) or get stuck in endless deficiency loops.

The Traceability Gap

Risk controls that are proposed in documentation but never actually verified in the final product, leaving a critical gap for auditors to find.

Incomplete Scope

Failing to address crucial areas like Usability (IEC 62366), software anomalies, or cybersecurity threats in the risk assessment.

Static Documents

Creating a 'point-in-time' risk file that doesn't evolve, failing to meet the post-market and lifecycle requirements of modern regulations.

The Leanabl Insight

We view Risk Management not as a compliance burden but as a value-creation tool. A robust risk file is the most effective way to streamline development, reduce testing costs, and build a device that is inherently safer and more effective.

Comprehensive ISO 14971 Compliance

We execute the entire risk management process, from planning to final reporting, creating a file that stands up to the toughest auditor scrutiny.

Hazard Analysis (Top-Down)

We start by systematically identifying known and foreseeable hazards, the sequences of events that can cause them, and evaluating the potential resulting harms.

FMEA & Control Strategy (Bottom-Up)

We conduct detailed Design, Process, and Use FMEAs (DFMEA, PFMEA, UFMEA) to identify failure modes and define robust engineering and procedural controls.

Benefit-Risk Analysis

We perform a scientific evaluation of the overall residual risk against the anticipated clinical benefits, creating a defensible rationale for EU MDR and FDA compliance.

From Assessment to Audit-Ready File

Hazard Workshop

A collaborative session to identify and document all potential hazards and foreseeable misuse.

Analysis & Mitigation

We define clear engineering controls, risk mitigation measures, and the verification tests required to prove their effectiveness.

File Compilation

We compile all analyses and reports into a single, audit-ready Risk Management File (RMF).

Why Trust Our Risk Experts?

  • Integrated Approach

    We don't silo Risk. We link it directly to your Design History File, ensuring every control is tied to a design input and a verification test.

  • Cybersecurity Ready

    We build cybersecurity threat modeling (AAMI TIR57) directly into your ISO 14971 process, preparing you for modern connected device requirements.

  • Lifecycle Mindset

    We create living documents designed for easy updates, making Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) and annual reviews a seamless process.

Secure Your Safety Case.

Don't let a weak risk file jeopardize your approval. Let's build an audit-proof file together.
