I agree with your examples. However ISO 14971:2019 Table C.3 provides examples of Hazardous Situations that encroach into the Harms territory. Their example of a Biological Hazard: Sequence of events: 1) Inadequate decontamination of anaesthesia tubing, 2) Contaminated tubing used during anaesthesia Hazardous situation: Bacteria released into airway of patient during anaesthesia Harm: bacterial infection If I understand your examples, it would be written as: Sequence of events: Inadequate decontamination of anaesthesia tubing, Hazardous situation: Contaminated tubing used during anaesthesia Harm: Bacteria released into airway of patient during anaesthesia leading to bacterial infection I would argue that the Hazardous Situation exists as soon as the contaminated tubing is available for use, without even coming into contact with a patient. Same logic for an exposed live wire or a wet floor. Thoughts?
