The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) - through the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) - has commissioned a “Study supporting the monitoring of availability of medical devices on the EU market”. The study started in December 2022 and will be running for 36 months (December 2025). The study has been contracted to a consortium led by the Austrian National Public Health Institute (Gesundheit Österreich GmbH/GÖG), in collaboration with Areté and Civic Consulting.
In the context of the study, a dashboard has been developed. The dashboard presents an overview of the data gathered from different stakeholders. In addition, comparable data from previous surveys of notified bodies conducted by the European Commission have been integrated in the dashboard.
Within the study a survey was also launched to Manufacturers and Authorised Representatives end of 2023. The results can be found in the presentation.
