    Good Evening,

    look up the GHTF doc. GHTF.SG3.N99-9 (Design Control Guidance For Medical Device Manufacturers). It has a chapter on DHF. 

    regards

    ​Here are the items I recommend to be in a DHF.  This will assure compliance with FDA and ISO 13485 requirements:

    • Product Concept Document (PCD)
    • Design Initiation Authorization
    • Design and Development Plan
    • Risk Analysis
    • Design Inputs
    • Design Outputs and corresponding approvals
    • Design Verification protocols and reports
    • Design Validation protocols and reports
    • Evidence showing traceability (i.e., trace matrices) between design inputs, outputs, verification, and validation.
    • Design Transfer plans and reports
    • Design Review meeting minutes and reports
    • Design Changes
    • Final DHF-audit and design-release authorization

    Hope this helps.
