Postmarket Surveillance

Postmarket surveillance is the ongoing process of monitoring a medical device after it has been approved and is available for use. Its goal is to ensure the device remains safe and effective in real-world conditions. Manufacturers and regulators collect data from users, healthcare providers, and clinical studies to identify any issues or adverse events that may occur over time. This helps ensure that if problems arise, they can be addressed promptly through updates, warnings, or recalls, safeguarding patient health and maintaining trust in medical technology.
