For the advancement of universal health care, the handling of medical emergencies, and the promotion of healthier populations, access to high-quality, cheap, and suitable health products is essential. Common medical operations, such as bandaging a sprained ankle, diagnosing HIV/AIDS, implanting an artificial hip, or undergoing any surgical intervention, would not be conceivable without medical gadgets. Medical Devices are utilised in a wide range of contexts, including at home by laypeople, at remote clinics by paramedics and doctors, in high-tech medical facilities by optometrists and dentists, and in palliative care by medical professionals.
These medical technologies are used to intervene and treat ailments, both acute and chronic, detect disease, track therapies, help the disabled, and support the elderly. Any device intended by the manufacturer to be used, either alone or in combination, for a medical purpose qualifies as a Medical Devices. This includes instruments, apparatuses, implements, machines, appliances, implants, reagents for in vitro use, software, materials, and other similar or related items.
