Dr. Oliver Eidel · ISO 14971: Medical Device Risk Management · Updated November 26, 2025
As always, we skipped ahead a few steps for the sake of getting something done and not getting bogged down in nitty-gritty details. Now, let's catch up on what we've missed: Our fancy ISO 14971 - compliant risk analysis of our medical device also needs to include failure modes, so that's what we'll be documenting in this video.

The software I'm using in the video is Formwork, our eQMS software. It's the most affordable eQMS software and perfect for startups. Check it our here:

I’m a medical doctor, software engineer and regulatory dude. I’m also the founder of OpenRegulatory.

Through OpenRegulatory, I’ve helped 100+ companies with their medical device compliance. While it’s also my job that we stay profitable, I try to dedicate a lot of my time towards writing free content like our articles and templates. Maybe that will make consulting unnecessary some day? :)
