Risk management is not always straightforward, especially if it has to be based on inadequate data. When the arguments are fuelled by fears for public health, politicians are forced to take difficult decisions and all too frequently it is the scientists who come into the firing line over the provision of advice. This is the first of two articles that addresses some specific issues that relate to risks with medical devices in the context of the European Commission.
风险管理并非总是简单直接的，尤其是当其必须基于不充分的数据时。当因对公众健康的担忧而引发争论时，政治家们被迫做出艰难的决策，而且往往是科学家们因提供建议而成为众矢之的。这是两篇文章中的第一篇，探讨在欧盟委员会背景下与医疗器械风险相关的一些具体问题。
