What is Post Marketing Surveillance for Medical Devices? (MDR 2017/745)

► Webpage: podcast.easymedicaldevice.com/41
Her nickname is the PMS Queen as she can tell you all you need to know about Post Marketing Surveillance. Natasha Bankowski, Head Regulatory affairs and Pharmacovigilance at Kora Healthcare will really deliver you a masterclass on this episode of the Medical Device made Easy Podcast.
Her advice on this topic is really important as Post Marketing Surveillance is changing a lot with the new Medical Device Regulation MDR 2017/745. There are now some PMS Report, PSUR, PMCF, and EUDAMED that also enters the game.
One important take from this episode is to see the PMS as process connected inside all you Quality Management System and not only as a separated tool. It collects data from so many processes that it is really important to be careful when you are building that for your organization.

[@adanmohamedali7328]

Thanks Natsha for your excellence explanation about post-market surveillance or survey

[@winrichgermann8424]

Many thanks for the overview. For me as a QA/RA consultant the information given is very helpful!

[@ghulammohyuddinbhatti3292]

Dear Mr Monir El Azzouzi and Natasha thanks for awareness about Post Marketing Surveillance for Medical Devices. I think the Involvement of the personnel comments / complains of Patient / End user / Surgeon (who is implanting and using) Medical Device is necessary for successful Post Marketing Surveillance. How can we involve them, their feed back must be the part of Post Marketing Surveillance.

Nice presentation Natasha. Agree, this has become very complicated. Manufacturers will need to evaluate, in detail, all their procedures looking through the lens of input/output triggers between procedures both in terms of (i) process linkages and (ii) data elements. With the additional MDR PMS requirements, one manufacturer found ~70 different triggers that needed to be mapped into their current, out-of-date procedures. A huge amount of work to just get the processes right; implementation is their other challenge. Great job. David R

[@aaravchandraj494]

Many thanks Natasha and Monir for the wonderful info. I am wondering if you could please provide some light on event or incident reporting obligations for a device facility user, such as a hospital or a nursing home, as per the new EU MDR. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing - helpful pointers!

[@EasyMedicalDevice]

Thanks Tristan. If you have a question that was not answered during the interview, let us know. Happy to help you.

[@davidday2756]

Excellent discussion, very informative. We have been complying with the MEDDEV and performing an annual PMS meeting over the last few years, with one SOP. I envisage we will have several SOP’s to cover all the Plans, PSUR, etc. We perform annual Risk Management Reports, can they be repurposed to cover PSUR? Is there any handy PMS mind map or flow chart that shows inputs/outputs or how it all fits together?

[@htcoztrk]

Hello David. Did you manage to find a relation graphic or flowchart for PMS inputs/outputs demonstrating all the relations and interactions? If you do so, I'll appreciate you can share it with me as I am challenging to put all together in my mind trying to link them together and figure out how to revise SOP or if create different SOPs for each etc. Thanks in advance. Best regards, -Hatice
