What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health has submitted a report titled \u201cMedical Devices: Regulations and Control\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key highlights from the report?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Regulating Medical Devices Sector: <\/b>Central Drugs Standard Control Organization(CDSCO) was set up to regulate pharma, related segments and medical devices. However, it is falling short in effectively regulating the medical devices industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, new legislation should be enacted for setting up a new set of regulators at different levels for regulating the medical devices’ industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medical Device Testing Laboratories<\/b>: India has only 18 certified Medical Device Testing Laboratories that have been approved by CDSCO. This is grossly insufficient keeping in view the size of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feedback system<\/b>: There is a dire need for developing a robust IT enabled feedback driven post-market surveillance system for Medical Devices to evaluate the efficiency of specific Medical Devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Training of officers:<\/b> The Central Government should work in synergy with State governments and impart the necessary skills to the local medical device officers and also devise a mechanism to regularly designate State Medical personnel as Medical Device\/Medical Device Testing Officers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Involve institutions for testing:<\/b> Government should allow the new regulator to involve institutions such as IISC, CSIR, DRDO and a network of IITs to test medical devices for safety and efficacy. These institutes have high-tech labs and thus can be used to test medical devices<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast Track approval:<\/b> A single window clearance for all the departments\/Ministries should be set up. This would significantly boost investment in R&D in the field of medical devices and would also reduce the time required for obtaining approvals from different Departments\/Ministries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
