What This Skill Does

The risk-management-specialist skill is a dedicated expert assistant designed to help medical device manufacturers navigate the complex regulatory landscape of ISO 14971:2019. This skill acts as a structured guide for your risk management lifecycle, ensuring compliance from initial concept through design, production, and post-market surveillance. It facilitates the creation of a robust Risk Management File (RMF), helping teams systematically identify hazards, estimate the probability and severity of potential harm, and implement effective risk control measures. Whether you are performing a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), or a benefit-risk assessment, this tool provides the analytical frameworks necessary to justify risk acceptability and maintain compliance with global health authority standards.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alirezarezvani/risk-management-specialist

Use Cases

• Drafting and maintaining a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that meets current regulatory standards.
• Conducting hazard identification sessions and mapping them to specific medical device design features.
• Estimating risk using a standardized 5x5 matrix and determining the necessity for design iterations.
• Developing risk control measures that achieve 'As Low As Reasonably Practicable' (ALARP) status.
• Analyzing post-market feedback and adverse event data to update existing risk profiles.
• Preparing documentation for technical files and clinical evaluation reports (CER).

Example Prompts

1. "Perform a preliminary hazard analysis for a new infusion pump design. Identify potential failure modes related to electrical safety and user interface errors."
2. "We have identified a new risk in our post-market surveillance report. Help me update our FMEA and evaluate if the current risk control measures are still adequate according to our 5x5 risk matrix."
3. "Draft a summary for the Risk Management Report justifying why the residual risk for this thermal ablation device is acceptable, including a benefit-risk analysis."

Tips & Limitations

• Tip: Always cross-reference your specific regional regulations (e.g., EU MDR vs. FDA 21 CFR Part 820) when interpreting risk acceptability.
• Tip: Use the provided workflow templates to ensure you don't skip critical stages like risk control verification.
• Limitation: This skill provides guidance and structural support; final clinical and technical judgments must be verified by qualified subject matter experts and licensed professionals.
• Limitation: Ensure that your RMF is periodically reviewed as the device matures or when significant design changes are introduced.
