Risk Management for Clinical Investigators with Bijan Elahi


Hi Reader

A lot of of what happens in medical product development is managing risks. There is risk in every step of the medical product development lifecycle.

Our guest today is Bijan Elahi, where we talk about risk management for clinical investigators conducting medical device clinical trials.

In this episode, you’ll be introduced to ISO 14971 Application of risk management to medical devices and learn about its relationship to ISO 14155 Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects — Good Clinical Practice.

You’ll also understand key terminology around risks, how to define risk, what’s special about clinical studies with respect to risk management, and much more.

Bijan has worked in risk management for medical devices for over 29 years at the largest medical device companies in the world, as well as small startups.

He is also the author of Safety Risk Management for Medical Devices, a book on essential safety risk management methodologies for medical devices compliant with the requirements of ISO 14971:2019.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Bijan on the Clinical Trial Podcast.

Love,

Kunal

Quote I'm pondering

"In the end, it all comes down to how often you were kind and compassionate, genuinely so, even in the most difficult and trying of circumstances."
