| Abstract: | Numerous data and reports indicate a staggering scale of medical device-related incidents. The Implant Files (2018) uncovered 80,000 deaths ad 1.7 million injuries associated with medical devices from US alone. In the EU, Poly Implant Prosthese (PIP) was found to be utilizing industrial grade material for its silicone breast implants. The scenario led the European Union to introduce new legislation on medical devices. |
