In today’s rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology, the need for efficient post-market surveillance (PMS) in the In Vitro Diagnostic and Medical Device industry has become more critical than ever. 🩺 With advancements in digitalization and connectivity, the traditional methods of monitoring the safety and performance of medical devices are being reshaped by innovative solutions. One such solution that holds immense promise is implementation of Electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU). Discover more 👉 https://hubs.li/Q02HBsg80 #Healthcare #MedicalDevices #IVD #eIFU #PMS

This clip from the BSidesNYC 2024 "Life of an SBOM" presentation highlights the critical comparison between engineered and deployed SBOMs in medical devices. Ken Zalevsky, CEO of Vigilant Ops and Anita D'Amico, PhD, President of Cotopaxi Consulting uncover the differences of what should be on a system and what's actually there.

Rethinking Medical Device Recalls One of the challenges related to gaining experience when using a medical device in a time-constrained critical situation is the opportunities that present themselves. Simulation is an option, but I have yet to come across a simulation lab that focuses on make and model-specific issues and failures. So option B is to have individuals actively participate in the incident reporting and recall systems within their countries. In this instance, the manufacturer is proactively highlighting an issue that could occur with any device that is software-driven, to quote. “If initial FUNCTIONAL TEST fails………………………..” Sounds pretty straightforward, but if you put yourself in the shoes of the individual who has to make a call like this, surrounded by staff and colleagues, dealing with a critically ill patient, any help is better than none. Your active participation in the incident reporting and recall systems could potentially save lives. The point is that recalls such as these need to be shared, they need to be available to all the users, and they need to be easy to find. The Clinical Equipment User Manual Library and the BCS Search option are the only system in the world that allows you to match up the Manufacturers' Instructions for Use and other manufacturers' Use documentation with the current and historical Recalls associated with that device – securely, via the Hospitals Intranet: https://lnkd.in/gKb94Ypx #hospitals #medicalequipment #mhra #safetyandquality #recalls
