BACKGROUND: Knowledge about the pattern of adverse events caused by medical devices (MDs) is limited in India. We aimed to assess the pattern of MD adverse events (MDAEs) in a tertiary hospital in Northern India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted ambispectively at various clinical departments of PGIMER, Chandigarh. We followed the guidelines edged by the Materiovigilance Program of India (MvPI) to conduct this study. The prospective study (PS) was done from January to December 2020, with a concurrent retrospective study (RS) proceeding to 3 years to learn more about the reporting culture, demographics, notification status, risk class of defective devices, and the type of adverse events.
RESULTS: We received 224 MDAE in the PS and identified 413 MDAE in the RS. Reporting of adverse events to the national MvPI was negligible in the RS. In the PS, nurses reported the majority of MDAEs (65%), followed by doctors (30%). The occurrence of MDAE was higher in males (PS; 52%, RS; 57%) and age groups between 21 and 30 years (PS; 19.1%, RS; 23.2%) in both studies. MDAEs were frequent in low- to moderate-risk devices (class B: 66%) in the PS, while it was documented only for high-risk devices (class C: 51% and class D: 49%) in the RS. Most of the serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported among moderate to high-risk devices, and an increased frequency of SAE (60.4%) was observed among nonnotified MDs. The overall incidence of near-miss events was 14%.
CONCLUSION: Knowledge of MDAEs and reporting of defective devices to regulatory authorities is essential to prevent further incidence. Adverse events caused by MDs are ubiquitous irrespective of their risk classification, notification status, and patient demographic factors. Accelerated reporting of MDAE by all cadre of healthcare professionals is urgently required to safeguard the health of Indians.
