This training manual shows how to use failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in the manufacture of medical devices and looks at regulatory requirements related to manufacturing of medical devices, risk management, and other risk analysis methodologies. Chapters cover FMEA procedures and the FMEA team, common tools used with FMEA, design, process, application, and service FMEA, post-FMEA study, and control plans. A final chapter offers an overview of failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA). There is no subject index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Challenged by stringent regulations, vigorous competition, and liability lawsuits, medical device manufactures must develop safe, reliable, and cost-effective products, and managing and reducing risk is a vital element of reaching that goal. These guidelines focus on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and its application throughout the life cycle of a medical device. It outlines the major U.S. and E.U. standards and regulations and provides a detailed yet easy-to-read overview of risk management and risk analysis methodologies, common FMEA pitfalls, and FMECA-Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis.Guidelines for Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for Medical Devices is written as a practical guide to achieving corporate consistency while dramatically cutting the time required for studies. It will help you prevent patient injuries, costly product recalls, and production department down-time. Discover how the FMEA methodology can help your company achieve a more cost-effective manufacturing process by improving the quality and reliability of your products. This new FMEA manual from the experts at Dyadem is the ultimate resource for you and your colleagues to learn more about Failure Modes and Effects Analysis and then teach others at your facility. This comprehensive manual is sure to become a standard reference for engineering professionals.
