“The text, Safety Risk Management for Medical Devices, is an excellent companion for the medical device developers and entrepreneurs. As part of our lean start-up strategy we wanted to complete as much of the development in-house as possible. Elahi’s methods and resources enabled first-timers, such as ourselves, to implement a robust evidence-based risk management approach that supported the successful CE mark of our device.”

"Reading and untangling ISO standards is time consuming and daunting. Elahi untangles Risk Management in a comprehensive and thorough manner. He provides clear and precise definitions, interprets unclear sections of the standards, provides templates and step by step directions on how to perform analysis of complex medical devices. He also warns where people tend to get tripped up and lays down ground rules to keep the analysis from getting out of control and keeping progress moving forward. I found the book invaluable. "

Many of the risk management courses I’ve done in the past have been a regurgitation and explanation of ISO14971 with a few examples thrown in. In contrast, the course delivered by Bijan at MedTech Safety provided a comprehensive insight into risk management – what it is, how it’s done well, practical tips for success, and hands on examples of working through some of the more complex aspects of the discipline. We all walked away with a good understanding of risk management and how we can apply it.
