- Quality management - maintaining documented processes governing the provider's operations.Plausible but wrong: a quality management system organizes the provider's processes and documentation, not real-time operator intervention.
- Post-market monitoring - collecting performance data on the system after it is deployed.Plausible but wrong: post-market monitoring tracks a system's performance over time after deployment, not moment-to-moment human control.
- Human oversight - enabling a person to monitor, intervene in, or halt the system in use. ✓Correct: human oversight requires that natural persons can effectively monitor a high-risk system and intervene or stop it during operation.
- Transparency - giving deployers clear instructions for the system's proper and safe use.Plausible but wrong: transparency and instructions for use inform deployers, but do not themselves provide the ability to intervene and stop the system.
The trap
Assuming transparency or instructions for use satisfy the requirement for a person to be able to intervene and stop the system. How to remember it
The ability of a person to monitor, intervene in, and stop a high-risk system during use is the human oversight requirement.
