1.0 Scope In accordance with the standard ISO 14971:2007 "Medical Devices-Application of Risk Management to medical devices" as well as the Risk Management processes, this document gathers the risk management information for the product detailed in table 1: Product Coolinside Classification Active Medical Device of IIb Class. Table 1: Device Information 2.0 Background 2.1 The Coolinside product is a medical device designed for resection of liver tumors. The concept is based on the release of radiofrequency currents to the tissue which induces the coagulation of the tissue. The device is provided with a blade which permits the section of the coagulated tissue in a single maneuver without the need of another device. 2.2 The Apeiron Coolinside Device is manufactured by Gema Medical and Arrotek Medical. Gema Medical is responsible for the manufacturing and assembly of the device and Arrotek Medical are responsible for the packaging, sterilisation and supply of the finished product to Apeirion as per Work Instruction 700090-99. 2.3 The Design Risk Assessment has been prepared by Arrotek Medical and two Process Risk Assessments have been prepared, one by Gema Medical and one by Arrotek Medical.

3.0

Method 3.1 The method by which Arrotek have prepared the risk assessment is detailed in SOP 006 and ISO 14971:2007. The method used by Arrotek is Failure Mode and Effect analysis as per section 3.0 of 14971:2007 3.2 Gema Medical has also carried out a risk assessment using the FMEA process as per as per Annex 1: Risk Management Plan.

4.0

Risk Evaluation 4.1 Arrotek Medical has carried out the risk evaluation process as per SOP 006. If the risk level is defined as low it is considered as acceptable and no further action is required. If the risk level is defined as medium it will be reduced further and risk controls will be implemented but if this is not possible the risk can be considered as low as achievable and therefore acceptable. It the risk level is defined as high the risk is unacceptable and risk reduction must be implemented.

4.2 Gema Medical has carried out the risk evaluation process as per Annex 1: Risk Management Plan. If the risk level is defined as negligible it is considered as acceptable and no further action is required. If the risk level is defined as tolerable it will be reduced further and risk controls will be implemented by indirect means. If the risk level is defined as undesirable it will be reduced further and risk controls will be implemented by direct means. If the risk level is defined as Intolerable the risk is unacceptable and risk reduction must be implemented by reducing probability and / or severity of the hazard.
