Five Steps from Site Assessment to Decommissioning

  1. 01

    Site Assessment

    Power, HVAC, RF shielding, network, and boom clearance verified against IEC 60601-1-2 EMC.

  2. 02

    Install & IQ/OQ/PQ

    Installation, operational, and performance qualification documented against the design history file (DHF) and device master record (DMR) before first clinical case.

  3. 03

    Clinical Training

    Console, bedside, and biomed competency records with superuser pathways and good manufacturing practice (GMP) change-control awareness for field updates.

  4. 04

    PM & Calibration

    Scheduled PM, cybersecurity patch deployment, mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) tracking, and release-to-use evidence.

  5. 05

    End-of-Life

    Unique device identification (UDI) deregistration, IT asset wipe (NIST SP 800-88), post-market surveillance (PMS) closeout, recycling certificate.
