The text analyzes the reasons of medical devices adverse events occurrence from manufacturers, medical institutions and patients. To guard against the events, the medical institutions should put emphasis on check of purchasing, informed consent, technical permission, SOP performing, the safe of medical and enhance monitoring etc.

OBJECTIVESTo increase the number and quality of adverse events reported in medical devices, dealing with adverse events that have occurred in time, preventing the occurrence of adverse events, and ensuring the safety of device use.

METHODSBased on risk management methods, through a comprehensive analysis of risk of adverse events, scientifically assessing the risk level and completing the classification of adverse events. Administrative supervision departments take corresponding supervision measures according to the classification results.

RESULTSBuilding a classification monitoring model of medical device adverse events based on risk management.

CONCLUSIONSThe classification of adverse events will help the administrative supervision department to focus on the work, reduce the workload, and improve the efficiency of supervision.

To explore the law and characteristics of adverse events of medical devices and to provide research methods and basis for reducing the recurrence of similar adverse events, we collect medical devices safety information from five representative countries in the world, and make statistics and analysis on the types of events, the types of management and the causes of events. The results show that among 136 serious adverse events, the top three causes of recall are product design factors, software factors, and component defects. In order to reduce the application risk of medical devices, it is suggested that product designers, operating users and medical institutions should correctly implement the monitoring and evaluation system of medical devices.

DEHP is largely used in soft PVC products as the plasticizer, which is also widely applied in medical devices. Due to its potential and widespread toxicity and medical devices' specific use, the safety of DEHP's application in medical devices has received extensive attention. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the application and potential toxicity of DEHP in PVC medical devices is made on the basis of the research results all over the world. Besides, the safety evaluation in medical devices is discussed and some possible coping strategies are explored.

Bio-evaluation within the medical device quality/risk management system is a risk analyzing and assessing process. On the basis of data from characterization of materials, scientific literatures, application history, bio-toxicology testing and so on, weighing the benefit and the risk, bio-evaluation does a conclusion to "take" or "quit" the product design. There is no "zero risk" though "no toxicity" always is the most desirable conclusion in a testing report. The application history data is the most comprehensive among the information available, since no testing system can "clone" the human body. In addition, the capital cost has to be taken into account when bringing the sophisticated testing technologies into the evaluating system. Investigating the #G95-1 of FDA CDRH and the changes of ISO 10993-1, the trend to integrate bio-evaluation into a quality/risk management process can be figured out.

On the basis of real working practices in data normalization, the case reports from the monitoring system were studied, non-standard reports were summarized and the reasons were analyzed, the methods of data normalization and improving the reporting quality were discussed. The standard databases and the rule databases were created, they were capable of automatic completion of the standardization work of new cases.
