I haven't had the time yet to read through the articles published by ICIJ here International Consortium of Investigative Journalists - ICIJ , but I'm aiming to read through them to the weekend.
But has anyone here read through them, or have peopled followed the news stories that ICIJ have broken the last few days? See here for example:
Revealed: faulty medical implants harm patients around world
The Guardian view on medical implants: patients need protecting | Editorial
Safety regulations for medical implants condemned by review chair
What are peoples opinion on these stories, and the regulation in our industry?
I've seen a few reactions, from people being worried about medtech in general being dangerous to people from the industry being worried that these stories will lead to even further cumbersome regulation being levied on an already heavily regulated industry. Also saw one comment that expressed disappointment that the journalist didn't wait a while to break these stories to see what impact of the new MDR regulation will have.
For me, it's difficult to form an opinion since I haven't worked in the field of medtech regulation for more than a couple of months, so I'm very interested in hearing the opinions of more seasoned professionals of the industry.
