Getting Started
← Return to FAQWhat is rmForge?
rmForge generates review-ready medical-device Hazard Analysis (HA) documentation. You sign up and book a working session with rmForge; we build your first analysis with you on a screen share and deliver a Hazard Analysis workbook plus a customer acknowledgment form to support your design history file.
Who is rmForge for?
Hazard Analysis consumes engineer hours, drifts between projects and review sessions, and is one of the artifacts FDA and Notified Body reviewers most often return for inconsistency, missing rows, or weak traceability. It is a project pain-point. rmForge is for medical-device manufacturers, contract design houses, and consultants across all device classes who want a structured Hazard Analysis built against a controlled and consistent ruleset, with traceability to Product Requirements.
How do I get started?
Sign up at /signup and confirm your email, answer the short device questionnaire at /qualify, then book your onboarding meeting at /book. On a screen share, we build your first Hazard Analysis with you. You decide on services and payment at the session; on payment, the review-ready workbook is emailed to you and available in your dashboard.
What inputs do I need to upload?
Bring what you have to the session. We can start from the device questionnaire alone for a preliminary Hazard Analysis. For a richer analysis, have your Instructions for Use (IFU) PDF, Product Requirements, User Needs and Intended Use, and any existing Hazard List ready. The richer the inputs, the more specific the HA rows we generate.
How long does an analysis take?
A typical, single device, Class II completes in 10 to 15 minutes from upload to download. You can close the browser and we'll email you when it's ready. Medical Electrical equipment and multiple subsystems can take an hour or more depending on the number of subsystems uploaded through documentation or the wizard.
Can I try rmForge with a sample device?
No. The home page offers a sample Hazard Analysis for your review.
Do I need to install anything?
No. rmForge runs entirely in the browser on rmforge.io. There's nothing to install and nothing to configure beyond a verified email address.
Can multiple people on my team use rmForge?
Each team member signs up with their own email. Team-shared analysis workspaces are on the roadmap.
What browsers does rmForge support?
Current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. We do not test against Internet Explorer.
What does it cost?
Signing up, booking, and the working session itself need no payment. At the end of the session you decide on services and payment; deliverables, including the Hazard Analysis workbook, are provided after payment. Ongoing support is a flat-fee subscription quoted in a proposal after your first meeting.
