Risk analysis helps us to determine whether we proceed to the next phase or not? This phase works on design and development plan, risk benefit analysis, risk management plan etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Phase II : Concept formulation and feasibility:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you are persuaded that your device has a market position, is practical and monetarily achievable, at exactly that point set the ball moving. You will require subsidizing for prototyping and trialing your device. This phase illustrates the feasibility of your idea in various ways. Feasibility focuses on engineering design work, determining the key material and components, reviewing certifications etc. as far as product concept goes. Your plan should work on \u00a0 the incomplete work, the regulatory requirements, which will clear your path.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Phase III : Verification And Validation\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now your device is beginning to take shape, you have a prototype, you have done some trials but you haven\u2019t really put the design through its paces, you are about to go into validation and verification of your device and prove that it will really withstand all the pressures of the real world. You must perform a series of validation to ensure user need and intended use of the device are met\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Phase IV: Final Validation\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you complete the above steps you are now coming to a point where you are gathering all evidence of testing such as biocompatibility, electrical safety etc whichever applicable.
