Risk Management for Medical Devices: Advanced
Move from foundations to applied risk management — applied FMEA / FTA, the ISO 14971 risk-control hierarchy in operation, IEC 62366-1 usability integration, MAUDE post-market analysis, and an authored Risk Management File and Risk Management Report.
Recommended prerequisite: completion of the Introductory level for this training, or relevant professional experience subject to Aleph University review.
The Advanced level of the Aleph Risk Management for Medical Devices course track is for professionals who already have the ISO 14971 vocabulary and process orientation covered and need to develop the applied skills the medical-device industry expects: authoring a Risk Management Plan that defines scope, responsibilities, acceptability criteria, and methodologies; conducting hazard identification using top-down (Hazard Analysis) and bottom-up (FMEA, FTA) methods; estimating severity (Catastrophic / Critical / Serious / Moderate / Negligible) and probability using documented rubrics; applying the risk-control hierarchy (inherent safety by design → protective measures → information for safety); integrating IEC 62366-1 usability engineering with risk management; performing residual-risk evaluation with ALARP reasoning; mining the FDA MAUDE database for post-market signals; and authoring a Risk Management File and Risk Management Report for a chosen device.
This 32-hour Professional Certificate Course builds directly on the 16-hour Introductory level (`RAQ-530-I`). It does not repeat the ISO 14971 vocabulary orientation. Where the Introductory level identifies FMEA and FTA at orientation depth, the Advanced level conducts both methods on a chosen device. Where the Introductory level identifies the risk-control hierarchy, the Advanced level applies it with verification of effectiveness documented. The course culminates in the authoring of a Risk Management File and Risk Management Report — portfolio-grade artifacts that demonstrate working command of the discipline.
Graduates of the Advanced course are positioned for senior applied work in Risk Management roles at medical-device and IVD manufacturers, at consultancies supporting clients on Risk Management File construction, and in post-market surveillance teams. The authored Risk Management File and Risk Management Report produced during the course are portfolio-grade artifacts.
Participants who meet the course completion requirements receive a Certificate of Completion issued by Aleph University.
