The medical device testing market is expected to have steady growth during the forecast period 2020-2030.
The medical device testing market is expected to have steady growth during the forecast period 2020-2030. The increased demand for medical devices is on account of growing focus on health and wellness in developing countries. For many years, many developing countries have been focusing on increasing healthcare budget, and this has led to greater opportunities for medical device manufacturers as well as testing companies.
It is a mandatory for medical devices to gain mandatory approvals before they are launched commercially in the market. The USA follows FDA guidelines, India follows CDSCO and Europe considers CE approval. Testing and regulatory approval is a complex procedure and requires use of accurate testing equipment and skilled personnel. As governments around the globe put medical device approval under higher scrutiny, medical device testing companies are witnessing sustained momentum.
Medical devices are classified into 6 types:
- Consumables and disposables including syringes and needles.
- Diagnostic imaging includes MRI, X-Ray, Ultra-sounds, etc.
- Dental Products such as dentures, braces, etc.
- Orthopaedics and Prosthetics including knee implants, artificial joints, etc.
- Patient aid such as hearing aids, pacemakers, etc.
Growing Scrutiny of Medical Device Testing
Technological development is acting as a guiding light for the market. Testing of medical devices is performed under various guidelines to ensure the device is performing remarkably. Its effectiveness, efficiency, etc. is checked as the end-user demands exceptional working of the product.
Companies are coming forward to invest in automation as automated medical testing is less time consuming. Also, vulnerability to human errors is also lower in automated testing.
Beneficial in Medical Device Compliance
Continuous medical device testing can help manufacturers in ensuring a seamless audit process. Detecting some errors at an early stage can help medical device manufacturers in understanding and rectifying glitches at an early stage. This can help manufacturers in saving investments in the long run.
Data Security Issue for Telemedicine
Increase in the handling of remote patient monitoring medical devices is an effortless target for hackers to hack the personal data and patient’s health data. Remote patient monitoring medical devices are connected with the internet to share data with their doctors. The data is private and confidential which can be leaked by these hackers. Details of patients such as medical questionnaires, driving licenses, passport copies can be leaked. These concerns continue to be a deterrent for medical device, as well as medical device testing industry.
Obstacles in Medical Device Development
Although the rules and standards are meant for verification of medical devices, these rules and regulations declared by the authorities can act as a barrier for local innovations. It can hamper the innovations by exposing them to complex licensing procedures. Also, in many countries, regulations regarding medical device compliance are lax, due to which focus on testing is low.
Development of Automation and IoT based systems
The automated medical devices can act as a boon for old patients and those who live in remote areas where the help cannot be reached easily. More developments and awareness regarding automation is needed in developing countries to make use of the technology.
