Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission ne medical devices ke liye naye guidelines (Version 1.3) nikal diye hain. Ab adverse events ki reporting sirf digital hogi aur AI-based devices par bhi sakht nazar rakhi jayegi.
Ab sab kuch hoga digital
Indian government ne medical devices ke liye Version 1.3 guidelines launch kar di hain. Ab tak jo reporting paper-based hoti thi, wo ab poori tarah se ADRMS portal par shift ho gayi hai. Iska matlab hai ki transparency badhegi, lekin hospitals aur manufacturers ke liye workload bhi badh gaya hai.
Reporting ke naye deadlines
Hospitals ko ab serious adverse events ko 15 din ke andar report karna hoga. Wahi, non-serious incidents ya near-misses ke liye 30 din ka time diya gaya hai. Har hospital ko ab 'Materiovigilance Expert Committees' banani hongi jo har incident ka root-cause analysis karengi. Ye compliance ka seedha asar profit margins par pad sakta hai.
AI aur Software par bhi Nazar
Aajkal healthcare mein AI aur software ka use badh gaya hai, isliye sarkar ne inhe bhi surveillance ke under le liya hai. Cybersecurity aur software glitches ko lekar ab manufacturers ko extra alert rehna padega.
Investors ke liye kya hai?
AiMeD jaisi bodies ne is digitization ko support toh kiya hai, lekin sector ke players ko apne quality control processes ko super-fast banana hoga. Jo companies jaldi adapt kar lengi, unke liye safety aur trust ka brand value badhega. Small-cap medical device players ke liye compliance cost ek challenge ban sakti hai, isliye unke profit margins par nazar rakhna zaruri hai.
