Dear Everyone,

While we are all sadden with the recent diaster in Japan, and pay the highest respect to the nuclear power hero of Japan, but life must go on, has any country made any special regulatory control on medical device made in Japan, especially implantable like stent, to prevent the risk of radiation contamination to the patient.

Any useful information would be great help

Japan quake could hurt medical device sales - analyst
Becton Dickinson, with an estimated 5 percent to 6 percent of its total sales in Japan, has a syringe manufacturing facility in Fukushima, where a nuclear power complex was damaged in last week's earthquake.
What is FDA doing to ensure the safety of products imported from Japan?

Thanks,

But from the point of the regulating the import of medical device, it seems that internationally there is no special control or monitroing of medical device from Japan, except just measuring the radioative count like any product, and nothing else. Am I right? Or has any country stop the import of medical devie from Japan or disallow the import of implants say stent from Japan?

I haven't heard anything yet on stopping Japanese imports. Maybe others here have more information. When you find out, please let us know...I'm equally interested in this topic as well.:bigwave:
