How is Data Collected for Post Market Surveillance?
Data for PMS is collected through various means:
Healthcare Provider Reports: Doctors and nurses report any adverse events or device failures. Patient Feedback: Patients provide information about their experiences with the device or treatment. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): These systems can automatically capture relevant data for PMS. Registries and Databases: Specialized databases track specific devices or treatments. Clinical Trials and Studies: Post-approval studies provide additional data on safety and efficacy.
