Medical Devices

Medical devices are critical to the delivery of healthcare.

The term “Medical Devices”, as defined in the Health Products Act 2007, covers a wide range of health or medical instruments used in the treatment, mitigation, diagnosis or prevention of disease or abnormal physical condition.

Medical devices vary in complexity from simple products such as tongue depressors, surgical sutures and contact lenses to more complex devices such as implantable defibrillators, prosthetic heart valves and diagnostic imaging systems
