The periodic verification of medical devices is mandatory under current national legislation. The inspection through periodic verification ensures that the medical device is safe for patients and performs its intended functions in accordance with the purpose and design specifications.
Why is this verification important?
Medical devices are used daily for diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring. Deviations from accepted parameters can lead to:
- errors in diagnosis and treatment;
- incorrect clinical decisions;
- unnecessary risks for patients;
- loss of trust in the medical system.
Timely verifications allow the identification and correction of deviations and help maintain the medical devices in optimal working condition.
The State Enterprise “Center for Applied Metrology and Certification” is accredited and officially recognized by the relevant Ministry to carry out inspection through periodic verification of medical devices, in accordance with national regulations. The activity is carried out by a Type A Inspection Body, ensuring impartiality, qualified personnel, and transparent procedures.
During the verification process, the compliance of medical devices with applicable normative documents or specific inspection procedures is evaluated, along with their reliability in use and their ability to deliver accurate results in clinical contexts.
Benefits for medical institutions
- Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
- Increased patient trust in medical services;
- Prevention of sanctions and legal disputes;
- Protection of medical personnel from risks related to the use of non-compliant devices.
Conclusion
Periodic verification of medical devices is not only a legal obligation but a necessary measure to protect the lives and health of patients as well as the safety of medical personnel who operate these devices. By working with accredited bodies, medical institutions actively contribute to maintaining a safe and efficient healthcare system.
