HAZID of a medical device system
The purpose of the HAZID study was to identify possible hazards for a new medical technology system whose functional purpose is to decontaminate rooms contaminated with viruses, bacteria, germs, toxic mold and spores. The purpose of the study was also to generate a set of recommendations / measures to eliminate or minimize the identified hazards. The results from the HAZID study were summarized in a HAZID report which presented a number of measures which in turn are followed up and shut down by the client.
