The Saudi FDA's NCMDR gathers and assesses data on medical device safety and performance, allowing stakeholders to report incidents for improved safety and compliance in Saudi Arabia by contacting the Authorized Representative (AR) on behalf of the manufacturer.
This data-driven system enhances safety standards, identifies issues, and facilitates necessary regulatory actions.
Enhanced Patient Safety: By collecting and analyzing reports of Failure Safety Notice (FSN), adverse events, and malfunctions, the NCMDR helps identify risks associated with medical devices.
Improved Device Quality: The feedback from the NCMDR allows manufacturers to identify and resolve issues with their devices.
Regulatory Actions: The Saudi FDA uses data from the NCMDR to take timely and appropriate regulatory actions, such as issuing recalls, safety alerts, or additional testing which can be only performed by the manufacturers.
Continuous Improvement: The NCMDR facilitates continuous monitoring and improvement of medical devices throughout their lifecycle as long as they have access to the Saudi market.
Response Times to NCMDR Very High Risk: 2 days High Risk: 5 days Moderate Risk: 10 days Manufacturer Reporting Requirements Serious public health threat: Within 2 days of awareness Unanticipated death or serious injury: Within 10 days of awareness Adverse events not associated with high risks: Within 30 days of awareness SFDA-Initiated Reports Responses required within 5 days after initiation*This consolidated guideline emphasizes the importance of reporting and responding promptly to adverse events, ensuring effective monitoring and mitigation of risks to public health and safety.
