Following the introductory first chapter, chapter 2 of this report outlines the requirements of the European Directives relating to medical devices and how implants are regulated in the UK as a result. Chapter 3 considers the process of certifying products for the EU market: whether sufficient evidence is gathered on an implant before approval for use and whether tighter pre-market requirements would introduce barriers to innovation and prevent the latest technology from reaching patients. Chapter 4 considers how to improve the monitoring of medical implants once they are on the market (post-market surveillance), and increasing coordination between EU Member States. Finally, overall conclusions are drawn in chapter 5. |
