In the rapidly evolving field of medical devices, compliance with Post-Market Surveillance (PMS)<\/b> requirements has become a cornerstone of safety, innovation, and market competitiveness.<\/p>\n

However, a recent report by the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ) paints a concerning picture: none of the 13 manufacturers inspected in 2023 and 2024 fully met the PMS requirements outlined in the MDR (Medical Device Regulation) and IVDR (In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation).<\/b>
\nThis finding underscores the critical need for manufacturers to prioritize PMS systems as both a regulatory mandate and a strategic asset.<\/p>\n

What is Post-Market Surveillance (PMS)?
\n<\/b>
\nPMS is a continuous process that starts when a medical device enters the market and persists throughout its lifecycle. It involves systematically monitoring the performance and safety of devices, collecting and analyzing data, and implementing corrective or preventive measures when necessary.
\nUnder the MDR\/IVDR, PMS requirements are more stringent than ever. They demand manufacturers integrate PMS into their Quality Management Systems (QMS), tailor it to specific devices, and proactively address safety and performance trends.<\/p>\n

Consequences of Non-Compliance
\n<\/b>
\nThe IGJ\u2019s inspections revealed widespread shortcomings in PMS implementation, including poorly defined plans, inadequate data collection, and insufficient analysis. These gaps have significant implications:<\/p>\n
