These steps should be a continual piece of work. The trust’s estate will change over time: new devices will be added, and others removed, contracts will expire, and new technology will come on the market. All of these and more, mean that the risks associated  with your medical devices are forever changing and you need to change to ensure you are mitigating them as best as you can.
