Failure Mode and Effect Analysis can be used to assess the efficacy and efficiency of the device in actual use. Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) can have a number of variations the aim is to thoroughly review what can go wrong in use and what kind of misuses may be made. The device manufacturer must consider how to protect patients in case of misuse of the device such as ventilators and PCA pumps for pain control. Many patients have died from its inadvertent misuse. It is also important to consider processes such as packaging, sterilization, shipping of wrong kits, and labeling. These have many risks associated with them that could adversely affect the performance of the device.
Course Objectives:
The legal system, the FDA, and the European standards require the device to be safe as long as it is in use. Therefore high reliability is an obvious requirement. Besides, it is a value proposition for the business: zero warranty costs, safe customers, more loyal customers, and more sales. The FDA reviews the results of the risk analysis during pre-market approvals, and FMEA is the most thorough document risk analysis, design control, and device history. Therefore a thorough understanding of FMEA for designing device for reliable and safe performance is a critical marketing strategy.
