Risk management for Medical Devices and IVDs

Making Medical Devices Safer…together!

At GBA Key2Compliance, we believe that risk management is not just a regulatory requirement – it’s a cornerstone of patient safety and product success.

With the harmonization of ISO 14971:2019/A11:2021 with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746, risk management has taken on even greater significance. 
This alignment ensures that manufacturers are not only meeting compliance requirements but are also actively contributing to safer, more effective medical technologies.
