“Innovations In Medical Devices”
As per
Center for devices and radiological health (CDRH), US
FDA, Medical device does not achieve its principle
intended by chemical action or being metabolized.
These devices vary from simple tongue presser and
thermometer to complex one such as device used for
robotic surgery.The medical devices are classified on
risk basis for the regulatory control namely Class I,
II and III. Innovations in medical devices inlcudes
diagnostic devices that can be used for high
throughput gene sequencing, often referred to as “next
generation sequencing". These instruments allow
sequencing a patient’s DNA and provide physicians to
look at the patients’ genetic makeup and help in
diagnosing disease or identifying the cause of
symptoms. US FDA has also approved Cerena Transcranial
Magnetic Stimulator (TMS), the first device to relieve
pain caused by migraine headaches. A pulse of magnetic
energy is used to stimulate occipital cortex of the
brain. Another innovation is RNS system, developed by
NeuroPace, Inc helps to reduce the frequency of
seizures in epilepsy patients and have not responded
well to medications. It consists of a stimulator
implanted in the skull under the scalp and leads
implanted in the brain. Other innovations which will
change the scenario of medical devices include 1) A
handheld tool for multispectral analysis of tissue
morphology to identify whether there is a need for
biopsy for moles causing cancer. 2) A technology for
blocking sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) signals at the
first sign of a headache. The system involves the
permanent implant of a small nerve stimulating device
in the upper gum on the side of the head normally
affected by headache. 3) Replacement of the needle
used for blood glucose testing with a patch is another
major requirement. The technology utilizes transdermal
biosensor that reads blood analytes through the skin
without drawing blood. 4) Transcatheter aortic valve
is a life-saving alternative to open-heart surgery for
patients. The valve is guided through the femoral
artery by catheter from a small incision near the rib
cage. Thus, it can concluded that innovations in
medical devices will be the need of the hour as per
patient's requirements. |
