Risk Management

Comprehensive Risk Control Made Simple

Grand Avenue’s Risk Management module helps you manage your risk management file (RMF) by linking documents, storing your harms list, and utilizing your defined risk matrix to assess risks and implement effective controls all in one place. Designed for medical device innovators, this web-based tool ensures ISO 14971:2019 compliance while enhancing team collaboration.

clear risk evaluation for informed decisions

The Risk Matrix helps teams quickly assess risk levels by evaluating probability against severity. Designed for intuitive use, it aligns with risk analysis best practices, guiding effective risk control measures. With clear visual indicators, teams can prioritize actions for improved product safety and efficacy.

Systematic tracking of
hazards and failure modes

Easily describe and assess potential hazards, failure modes and link them to your associated harms. Utilize your defined risk matrix to automatically output your severity, probability and risk priority number (RPN). This organized view supports text search, sorting by column, and tracks changes for each line with the Status column. With the ability to document and link risk control measures, this module supports continuous risk mitigation throughout the product lifecycle.
