Materiovigilance primarily focuses on the safety and monitoring of devices for medical use. To monitor the safety of medical devices in the Nation, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) in India launched the Materiovigilance Programme of India (MvPI) in 2015. It summarizes the main goals, aims, and efforts of India's Materiovigilance Program. Through the collection, analysis, and response to unfavorable occurrences and incidents associated with the use of medical devices, the Materiovigilance Programme of India seeks to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of all of such equipment. Healthcare professionals, manufacturers, and consumers can report unwanted events related to medical devices through a nationwide network of Materiovigilance Centers. These reports are then analyzed to identify potential safety concerns and inform regulatory decisions. The creation of a national database for adverse event reporting, activities aimed at enhancing healthcare professional's capacity, and cooperation with foreign regulatory bodies to promote knowledge exchange and best practices in Materiovigilance are some of the primary initiatives of the Materiovigilance Programme of India. By encouraging openness and responsibility in the medical device industry, the Materiovigilance Programme of India helps to safeguard patient safety and the general public health. Medical device monitoring and evaluation on a continuous basis aid in the identification of new dangers and guarantees prompt regulatory responses to reduce them. All things looked at the Materiovigilance Programme of India is essential to protecting patient rights and building trust in the nation's usage of medical devices.
