Module spotlight: Battery Safety Testing
A battery is a small power plant in the patient's hands. Battery safety testing documents that it is safe under normal and fault conditions.
By MoniDoseQMS Team
Portable and wearable devices depend on batteries — and a battery that overheats or fails can harm a patient directly. Battery safety testing documents that your device's power source behaves safely under normal use and under fault conditions.
What you can do
- Record battery safety test protocols and results
- Evaluate behaviour under normal and fault conditions
- Link findings to design verification and risk
- Keep traceable evidence for the technical file
Why it matters
Battery safety is a recognised hazard area for powered medical devices. Documenting it inside the QMS keeps it tied to the design and risk records that justify the device's safety.
