Medical Devices: How to Ensure Quality and Safety in Clinical Practice

Medical devices play an indispensable role in the day-to-day life of clinics, hospitals and diagnostic laboratories.

From the accuracy of exams to the safety of treatments, choosing the right devices can directly impact the quality of patient care. How can we then guarantee the quality and safety of these in practice?

Certifications and Regulations

Medical devices should only be purchased from manufacturers and suppliers who strictly follow regulation. For example:

• CE Marking: Assegura que o dispositivo cumpre os regulamentos da União Europeia.
• Conformidade com Normas ISO: It guarantees that the device has been produced under the highest quality standards.

Additionally, it is necessary to check that the supplier is compliant with local health regulations.

Team Training and Updating

The correct use of medical devices is as important as the quality of the equipment. Provide regular training to your team to ensure:

• Safe use of devices.
• Recognition of faults or technical problems.
• Update on new technological resources available in the market.

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

With the growing environmental concern, choosing sustainable medical devices is part of a responsible practice. Opt for reusable or recyclable equipment, and consider working with suppliers who adopt eco-efficient production practices.
