14 May 2012 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Large and rapidly growing, the medical devices industry is often complicated by legal technicalities. Hence, it is important to maintain regulatory surveillance on medical devices to protect public health by assessing the safety and effectiveness of medical devices.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the number of medical device recalls per year increased from 578 in 2005 to 928 in 2010. All in all, there were 4,343 medical device recalls during the same period. The main reasons behind these recalls were problems with device design and process control; the incorrect labeling of medical devices and the mistaken use of materials and components; as well as medical devices that pose a risk to patient health, devices that violate law, products with sterility failure and maintenance problems, and product repairs and contamination.
