Abstract

The sphere of activity of Biagio Burlini, an optician and instrument-maker working in Venice around the middle of the eighteenth century, is here pointed out. A research in the Archivio Patriarcale of Venice allowed to find the year of his birth (1709) and his death (13.1.1771). A survey of signed microscopes and telescopes now in various public and private collections contributes to a better knowledge of optical instrument-makers in that century.

An impact assessment of the European medical device regulations implementation - the current status quo.

BACKGROUND: This research aims to assess the current impact of the medical and in-vitro diagnostic devices regulations (MDR/IVDR) on the device industry in the EU, under the lens of postimplementation and the amending regulation, and in advance of the final transition to the IVDR/MDR in the future. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A quantitative survey was administered to a diverse cohort of medical device enterprises, ranging from micro to large organizations. RESULTS: The survey indicates that the MDR/IVDR has harmed innovation, leading many manufacturers to seek initial device approval and launch elsewhere before in Europe. There is evidence that some manufacturers have rationalized their existing product portfolios and removed devices from the market as they stated they would in previous industry surveys. The MDR/IVDR has been shown to negatively impact manufacturers, with increased costs related to notified body (NB) fees, maintaining and updating documentation, recertification fees, and hiring additional staff. CONCLUSION: This study provides a current status of the effects of MDR/IVDR on manufacturers and finds that despite amending regulations and other interventions taken by the EU to mitigate regulatory burden, ensure product availability, and address stakeholder concerns, the EU is no longer the market of choice for new products.

An electronic post market surveillance system for medical devices.

An important issue in the health care sector is the collection of information about adverse incidents relative to medical devices and the exchange of this information among Health Care Institutions, Manufacturers and Competent Authorities. We present an Electronic Post Market Surveillance System, which solves in an efficient and secure way the above problem and it is compliant to the International Standards. The system consists of the PMS Server Application installed in the manufacturers/suppliers premises and the PMS Client Application installed in the Health Care Institutions. The PMS applications are used for the management of the PMS Reports and Responses with important features such as the user-friendly interfaces, interoperability and different implementations depending on the performance and cost requirements. The messages are in XML format and the security is based on public-private key cryptography. The system was evaluated in a systematic way by a variety of users, who were satisfied by the system functionality and efficiency.
