Another nontraditional approach to assessing quality systems is the hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP). The Pillsbury Company conceived the HACCP in the early 1960s with the cooperation and participation of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration. Essentially, HACCP is a system that identifies and monitors specific food-borne hazards that can potentially affect the safety of food. Some medical device and diagnostics companies are implementing the same principles as the HACCP program.

Some of the first applications of SBC in medical applications were for drainage units. The units are clear to allow ease of reading fluid levels, and breakage resistant to contain fluids if the parts are dropped or impacted. Applications have expanded in other medical devices and diagnostic equipment, including yankaeurs, centrifuge tubes and medical films. Other application areas include safety needles and various respiratory care devices.
