Transforming Risk Management for Regulated Industries
Whether you’re developing medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, diagnostics, aerospace components, automotive parts, or food and beverage products, effective risk management is essential for patient safety and regulatory compliance. Traditional approaches using static FMEAs and isolated risk assessments fail to capture the dynamic nature of risk throughout the product lifecycle. eLeaP’s Risk Management System creates a living framework that grows with your products.
At the core of eLeaP Quality Management Software is its powerful Risk Management Module, a comprehensive system that adapts to your specific regulatory framework and product portfolio. With support for multiple risk methodologies, automated risk scoring, and seamless integration across quality processes, eLeaP ensures your risk management activities add value beyond compliance.
Key Features

Flexible Risk Frameworks
Configure the system for ISO 14971 (medical devices), ICH Q9 (pharmaceuticals), or custom frameworks. Support FMEA and other risk methodologies with built-in templates and scoring matrices.
-
Comprehensive Hazard Identification
Build and maintain hazard libraries with categories for biological, chemical, physical, and usability risks. Link hazards to similar products and leverage historical data for comprehensive analysis.
-
Dynamic Risk Assessment
Calculate risk scores automatically based on severity, occurrence, and detectability. Configure custom scoring matrices and acceptability thresholds based on product classification and intended use.
-
Risk Control Management
Define and track risk controls with clear implementation requirements and verification methods. Maintain traceability between hazards, controls, and residual risk evaluations.
-
Benefit-Risk Analysis
Support complex analyses for combination products, high-risk devices, and complex formulations
-
Cross-Functional Integration
Link risks directly to design and development controls, CAPAs, complaints, and nonconformances in events management. Automatically trigger risk reassessment when quality events occur or changes are implemented.
-
Risk Communication Tools
Generate risk management reports, summaries, and documentation for regulatory reviews, certification audits, and management reviews across all relevant regulatory frameworks.
-
Automated Risk Reviews
Schedule periodic risk reviews with automated notifications and escalations. Track risk trends over time and identify emerging patterns before they become critical.
What You Get with eLeaP Risk Management
-
Generate a Risk Chain with AI
Describe your product, who uses it and where, choose the standards that apply, such as ISO 14971, IEC 62304, EU MDR, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820, AS9100 or GMP, and eLeaP drafts a traced chain from hazards through harms, scored on your project’s scale and ready to edit.
-
A Living Risk Lifecycle
Harms move through Identification, Evaluation, Control, Monitor and Obsolete, so the risk file stays active after launch and residual risk is tracked on an ongoing basis.
-
An Interactive Acceptability Matrix
See every harm plotted by probability and severity, click a harm to open its record, and watch the matrix update as control measures change the risk. Probability and severity labels are editable, so you can use your own scales, including a simplified 3×3 matrix.
-
Initial and Residual Risk, Calculated for You
Initial risk is calculated from probability and severity, and residual risk is calculated once controls are implemented. A risk profile dashboard shows key figures, initial against residual risk, and harms by status.
-
Traceability from Hazard to Harm
Every harm, hazardous situation and foreseeable event links upstream automatically, and a visual path graph shows the chain from hazard to harm for auditors and engineers.
-
ISO 14971 and FMEA in One Module
Turn on ISO 14971 scoring with decomposed probability per ISO 14971:2019 Annex C, FMEA, or both, project by project. Configure up to seven phases and name them for your industry, such as Risk Sources, Failure Modes, Process Consequences and Impact for pharma, or Failure Mode, Failure Effect, Failure Cause and Risk Priority for automotive.
-
Risk Where the Work Happens
Capture probability and severity when you log a quality event, see the harms linked to an audit on its Risks tab with their calculated risk level, and review the risks linked to any design requirement. Change control covers risk items alongside documents and design items.
-
Import Your Existing Hazard Analysis or FMEA
Bring a hazard analysis or FMEA from Excel, CSV or a Word table into the module. The import template follows your project’s risk phases, checks probability, severity and affected parties against your configured lists, and creates each item traced to its parent. Harms show their calculated risk level on arrival, ready for control measures. Re-import with the same IDs to refine draft wording.
-
Control Measures with Measured Effect
Each control measure has an owner and records its effect on risk as a percentage reduction. Link controls to design inputs, risks, documents and audit evidence through Related Items.
