Scenarios
As we have defined at the GP-004 Vigilance system
procedure, templatehere are two scenarios that may require to carry out the product withdrawal procedure:
- Yearly programmed simulation (see
R-002-005 Quality Calendar
), to ensure the procedure is still valid. - Identification thay the medical device is not safe for its use.
Procedure
The process for withdrawing the product from the market must follow these steps:
- Request from the
JD-001
to take the product off the market - The
JD-005
accesses the production server in AWS. - The
JD-005
stops the API. - The
JD-005
tries to make an API call to make sure it is stopped and records the process using theT-004-001 Withdrawal record
.
The procedure for withdrawing the product from the market adheres to a sequence of steps, ensuring a smooth and controlled transition:
- Initiate Withdrawal Request: A formal request must be submitted to the
JD-001
, signaling the intent to take the product off the market. - Access the Production Server: The
JD-005
will then access the production server hosted on AWS, leveraging the appropriate protocols and credentials. - Halt the API: With careful precision, the
JD-005
will deactivate the API, ensuring all connected services are safely disengaged. - Verify the Termination: To confirm the successful cessation of the API, the
JD-005
will attempt an API call. This deliberate test ensures that the API has indeed been stopped. The entire process is recorded using theT-004-001 Withdrawal
template.
