Abstract

Quality by Design: Integrating Risk Engineering into Medical Device Development

Objectives:      

1. Understand the foundational principles of Quality by Design (QbD) and their role in modern medical device development.
2. Identify and assess risk factors throughout the device lifecycle using structured risk-engineering methodologies.
3. Explore the integration of regulatory frameworks and quality standards to ensure compliant and safe device design.
4. Analyze tools and techniques for embedding risk mitigation strategies during early-stage product design and testing.
5. Evaluate best practices for continuous monitoring, validation, and improvement to enhance device reliability and patient safety.
