A good way to run a risk management meeting is to plan ahead of time and leave the meeting with enough information to write a risk management plan. As part of the quality department, it is imperative to ensure that there are no risks taken when developing a new device to avoid any legal issues. Prior to the first risk management meeting, a solid understanding of the device should be known as well as writing down a list of potential risks. This list should be brought up at the meeting and investigated in front of all those that are involved. Holding a discussion on all the possible risks can better gauge what the risk matrix will look like, and will ultimately aid in sketching out the risks and their corresponding severity.
