Medical devices play an important role in the delivery of many health care services. “Medical device”
means any instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, appliance, implant, in vitro reagent or calibrator,
software, material or other similar or related article, intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in
combination, for human beings for one or more of the specifc purposes of:
• diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment or alleviation of disease
• diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of or compensation for an injury or disability
• investigation, replacement or modifcation of the anatomy or of a physiological or pathological
process or state
• providing information by means of in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human
body, including organ, blood and tissue donations
• and which does not achieve its principal intended action by pharmacological, immunological
or metabolic means, in or on the human body, but which may be assisted in its function by such
means (1)
The following products shall also be deemed to be medical devices:
• devices for the control or support of conception
• products specifcally intended for the cleaning, disinfection or sterilization of devices
The term applies to everything from common medical supplies such as latex gloves and syringes to
advanced imaging equipment and implantable devices such as cardiac defbrillators. The medical device
industry is thus an important component of the larger health care system and plays an essential role by
developing new medical technologies that can improve the ability to diagnose and treat illness. Some
types of medical devices include:
• single-use devices (i.e. syringes, catheters)
• implantable (i.e. hip prothesis, pacemakers)
• imaging (i.e. ultrasound and CT scanners)
• medical equipment (i.e. anesthesia machines, patient monitors, hemodialysis machines)
• software (i.e. computer aided diagnostics)
• in vitro diagnostics (i.e. glucometer, HIV tests)
