Medical Devices

Keep product-risk evidence connected from design through post-market.

Prepare source-linked proposals across design, manufacturing, complaints, CAPA, and post-market evidence without bypassing the risk-management process. Qualified Product, Quality, Clinical, and Regulatory owners decide what enters the controlled file.

Lifecycle decisions Tacit AI supports

Connect the evidence without collapsing risk management into one FMEA.

Prepare design-risk evidence

Use approved design inputs, specifications, prior analyses, and verification evidence to propose DFMEA content and identify missing links. FMEA supports the ISO 14971 process; it does not replace hazard identification, risk evaluation, risk-control decisions, benefit-risk analysis, or overall residual-risk evaluation.

Connect manufacturing controls

Prepare PFMEA and control-plan proposals from process flows, specifications, and qualification or validation evidence. Manufacturing and Quality reviewers confirm links to product risk controls and approve any controlled revision.

Review post-market signals

Compare complaints, nonconformities, service records, vigilance inputs, and other post-market evidence with the approved risk baseline. Tacit AI flags possible new hazards, hazardous situations, or changed occurrence assumptions for qualified assessment.

Trace CAPA and change impact

Show where proposed corrective actions or design and process changes may affect risk controls, verification evidence, and existing analyses. CAPA effectiveness and change approval remain in the manufacturer’s quality system.

Govern the handoff

Keep sources, assumptions, reviewer decisions, versions, and exceptions visible. Deployment, access, validation, electronic-record controls, and integration are defined with the customer’s Quality, Regulatory, and IT owners.

Assess evidence readiness

Inventory identifiers, versions, lifecycle links, and missing context before preparing risk proposals. Qualified teams can resolve source gaps before relying on the output.

Built for governed adoption

Give qualified teams a traceable way to assess lifecycle evidence.

What is measured

Coverage, traceability, and review effort

The pilot baseline and success criteria are agreed in advance. Results are reported only for the selected device scope, evidence set, method, and named review group.

Qualified ownership

Keep product-risk decisions with your experts

Qualified product, quality, clinical, and regulatory teams assess the evidence, determine device acceptability, and own the manufacturer’s QMSR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and regulatory responsibilities.

For accountable leaders

Built for the teams that own product risk across the lifecycle.

For Quality, Regulatory, R&D, Manufacturing, Post-Market, and Product Safety leaders working within the effective FDA QMSR, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14971, or EU MDR frameworks.

New or changed device

Prepare evidence for design review

Start with a defined subsystem or risk question. Tacit AI proposes linked analysis content; qualified owners review it against the manufacturer’s risk-management plan and acceptance criteria.

Marketed device

Assess the impact of field evidence

Use selected complaints, CAPAs, service records, and post-market outputs to identify where the approved risk baseline may warrant reassessment. The manufacturer controls investigation and revision.

Standards and regulations supported

Support is workflow-specific and does not confer conformity, certification, or regulatory acceptance.

FAQ

Medical-device risk and validation questions, answered.

FMEA supports the ISO 14971 process as one technique for hazard identification and risk analysis. Tacit AI prepares source-linked FMEA content; it does not replace hazard identification, risk evaluation, risk-control decisions, benefit-risk analysis, or overall residual-risk evaluation. Your qualified team retains those responsibilities within your risk management plan.

Deployment, access controls, audit trail, electronic signatures, and validation are defined with your Quality, Regulatory, and IT owners. The system supports full audit trail, RBAC, and MFA. Integration into your validated environment follows your CSV procedures—Tacit AI provides the IQ/OQ/PQ support documentation.

Tacit AI proposes links from corrective actions and design or process changes to potentially affected risk controls, verification evidence, and existing analyses. Your team assesses whether a CAPA changes the risk profile. Effectiveness verification and change approval remain in the manufacturer’s quality system.

Medical device risk management is product-centric and lifecycle-driven: design inputs, verification, manufacturing controls, complaints, and post-market surveillance all feed the same risk management file. Pharma process FMEA focuses on batch manufacturing steps. The workflows, standards (ISO 14971 vs ICH Q9), and regulatory expectations (QMSR vs cGMP) are fundamentally different—Tacit handles both natively.

Controlled engagement

Start with one lifecycle question and an agreed review method.

Your team defines the intended use, authoritative sources, reviewers, controlled-system boundary, baseline, and success criteria before Tacit AI prepares any proposals.

Scope

Define the question

Customer-defined

Choose a device, subsystem, lifecycle stage, evidence set, and qualified reviewers. Record exclusions and the status of pilot outputs.

Deliverable
Approved scope, baseline, evidence inventory, and review rubric.

Validate

Assess source-linked proposals

Agreed schedule

Tacit AI prepares proposed additions, links, and possible gaps. Reviewers accept, revise, or reject them and record why.

Decision
Continue only if agreed traceability, coverage, and review-effort criteria are met.

Integrate

Move through controlled change

After validation

Approved outputs follow the manufacturer’s document, design-change, CAPA, validation, and release procedures. Additional families require their own applicability review.

Decision
Expand against customer-defined quality and lifecycle outcomes.

Explore a lifecycle-risk pilot

Bring the approved risk analysis and a bounded set of design, manufacturing, complaint, or CAPA evidence. We will define the traceability and review criteria together.
