Hi all.
Could anybody help me with the reporting times / requirements for when an adverse event has occurred with a medical device in Japan.
There are a couple of IMDRF/GHTF documents that might help me... but the fact that there are more than one, with different information in doesnt help!
GHTF SG2 - Medical Device Postmarket Vigilance and Surveillance - Timing of Adverse Event Reports - 27 September 2002 and[FONT="]Medical Devices[/FONT][FONT="] Post Market Surveillance:[/FONT][FONT="]Global Guidance for Adverse Event Reporting for Medical Devices (2006)[/FONT]:
Serious injury or public health threat (including death) - immediately
Other events - 30 days.
Or if I look at Comparison of the Device Adverse Reporting Systems in
USA, Europe, Canada, Australia & Japan (2002)
Then there are a number of different reporting times based on whether or not it was off label use:
? Unlabeled serious incidents or near incidents ? 15 days
? Labeled serious incidents or near incidents ? 30 days
? Unlabeled medium level incidents or near incidence ? 30 days
Serious incidents by infectious diseases that could be caused by using medical devices ? 15 days.
What is correct? What do you all work to?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
