2. DEFINITION
Terms Definition
Harm Physical injury or damage to the health of people, or damage to property or the
environment.
Hazard Potential source of harm.
Hazardous Circumstance in which people, property or the environment are exposed to one or more
Situation hazard(s).
Residual Risk Risk remaining after protective measures have been taken.
Risk Combination of the probability of occurrence of harm and the severity of that harm.
Risk Analysis Systematic use of available information to identify hazards and to estimate the risk.
Risk Assessment Overall process comprising a risk analysis and risk evaluation.
Risk Control Process through which decisions are reached and protective measures are implemented
for reducing risks to, or maintaining risk within, specified levels.
Risk Evaluation Judgment, on the basis of risk analysis, of whether a risk which is acceptable has been
achieved in a given context based on the current values of society.
Risk Management Systematic application of management policies, procedures and practices to the tasks of
analyzing, evaluating and controlling risk.
Risk Management Set of records and other documents, not necessary contiguous, that are produced by a risk
File management process.
Safety Freedom from unacceptable risk.
Severity Measure of the possible consequences of a hazard.
Principle 1 Carry out Risk Analysis to identify hazard(s) associated with a medical devices
Principle 2 Carry out Risk Evaluation to estimate and evaluate the associated risk.
Principle 3 Carry out Risk Control to control the risks and monitor in the effectiveness of the
control.
Principle 4 Compiling the post-production information.
Principle 5 Establish documentation concerning all procedures and records appropriate to these
principles and their application.
Types Example
Biological hazards These include bio-contamination, bio-incompatibility, incorrect formulation
(chemical composition), toxicity, allergenicity, mutagenicity, oncogenicity,
teratogenicity, carcinogenicity, re-and/or cross-infection, pyrogenicity, inability
to maintain hygienic safety, degradation.
Environmental hazards These include electromagnetic fields, susceptibility to electromagnetic interface,
emissions of electromagnetic interference, inadequate supply of power,
