What is RCa?
Root-cause analysis (RCA) searches for the underlying cause of a problem instead of the symptoms. It's one of the first steps in implementing a solution that eliminates the causal chain of events that led to the problem.
All Medical Device engineers, technicians and other professionals should have a good knowledge of RCA as it is a vital step in general problem-solving approaches, such as: Six Sigma DMAIC methodology, the Shewhart/Deming PDCA Cycle, 8D, CAPA / NC processes, etc.
