General
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) describes the program developed for performing the Hazard Analysis (HA) during the development of Medical Devices under Device Control in order to identify, understand, control, and prevent potential risks in the use of COMPANY Medical Devices. The Hazard Analysis is conducted throughout product design, development as well as marketing/distribution. This SOP is part of the COMPANY Design Control Program, as outlined in the Design Control SOP and supports the overall Design Control process. This SOP applies to all Medical Devices that are approved for Product Development as well as to the personnel who are responsible for implementing Design Controls for such Medical Devices. This program does not apply to medical devices in very early stage of development such as early concept or feasibility stages.
