Getting Started
← Return to FAQWhat is rmForge?
rmForge is a SaaS platform that generates a review ready medical-device Hazard Analysis (HA) documentation from your inputs. Answer a short device-classification wizard, or upload your IFU and product requirements, , and rmForge produces 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?
During closed beta, request access by emailing support@rmforge.io or by clicking "Get started" from the home page. Once on the allow-list, you sign up at /signup, confirm your email, and start your first analysis from the dashboard.
What inputs do I need to upload?
Nothing. Answer the wizard's questions and get started today with a preliminary hazard analysis. For an enhanced Hazard analysis, upload Instructions for Use (IFU) PDF, Product Requirements document, User Needs and Intended Use document, and any existing Hazard List. 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?
During closed beta, each team member needs to be on the allow-list and signs up with their own email. Team-shared analysis workspaces are on the roadmap for general availability.
What browsers does rmForge support?
Current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. We do not test against Internet Explorer.
Is there a free tier?
Closed beta is free.
