EUDAMED, the EU's system for increased medical device transparency and safety, has faced significant implementation delays. Anna-Karin Alm argues these ongoing delays are destabilizing an already strained industry, as stakeholders expected a faster rollout of the database with accessible information about devices, incidents, and trials.
Key takeaways
- Anna-Karin Alm argues in a recent opinion piece that the European Union's protracted implementation of the European Database on Medical Devices (EUDAMED) is generating instability within an already stressed industry
- EUDAMED, designed to revolutionize transparency and safety, aims to provide readily accessible information on medical device registrations, adverse incident reports, and clinical trials, thereby bolstering patient safety
- However, Alm contends that persistent delays have left industry stakeholders feeling that the project remains in its nascent stages, despite initial expectations for a swift and seamless launch
