Objective: Medical devices have become an indispensable part of the healthcare system in recent times. A major shift towards increasing demand and supply of devices has led to an increase in the number of adverse effects being reported from across the world. “Materiovigilance” (MV) is the coordinated system of identification, collection, reporting, and analysis of any untoward occurrences associated with the use of medical devices and protection of a patient's health by preventing its recurrences. Post-Graduate medical students play a key role in reporting and management of any adverse events associated with medical devices in patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding Materiovigilance among the residents. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among the Post graduate students of a tertiary care government institute of Southern Rajasthan. A pre-validated questionnaire comprising of 18 questions pertaining to knowledge, attitude, and practice of Materiovigilance was used. Results: Out of 110 participants ongoing programme 73.6% knew about an ongoing programme on Materiovigilance, 29.6% have been trained about MV while 70% consider reporting its ADR necessary, while 6.6% have reported ADRs caused by devices in their department. Conclusion: A large section of PG students was aware of the term “Materiovigilance,” but they need to be provided with more knowledge about the concept and its reporting. The attitude is positive but regular practice of reporting needs to be developed. Educational interventional programmes are required to promote Materiovigilance and ADR reporting due to medical devices in day-to-day practice.

“…Materiovigilance (Mv) entails close monitoring of any unfavorable changes in a medical device's performance or characteristics using a system that can detect, gather, and report on estimates of unfavorable occurrences and respond to them with device recalls or field safety corrective actions during the post-marketing phase of a medical device. 1 On July 6, 2015, the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), Ghaziabad, hosted the introduction of the Mv programme of India (MvPI) by the DCGI. 5,6 Strive to "increase patient safety and welfare of the Indian population by monitoring adverse events related to medical devices and consequently lowering the risk associated with their usage," as stated in the MvPI's mission statement.…”

Background: Medical devices are vital for healthcare diagnosis and treatment but pose inherent risks. Physicians and healthcare professionals play a crucial role in reporting adverse events associated with these devices. Despite this, there is a notable scarcity of literature addressing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices surrounding India's Materiovigilance (Mv) Program. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of doctors and postgraduate residents in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu regarding the Materiovigilance program of India (MvPI). Methods: It was conducted as an observational, cross-sectional study, a structured self-administered Google Form survey was distributed among medical professionals and citizens of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The survey, comprising 22 questions on knowledge, attitudes, and Mv practices, was disseminated via various social networking sites. Results: Out of 700 doctors and postgraduate residents surveyed, 496 responded, yielding a response rate of 70.8%. The majority (96.8%) acknowledged the potential for adverse events from medical devices, with 91.1% agreeing on healthcare professionals' responsibility to report such events. Despite experiencing medical device-related adverse events in practice (63.3% of respondents), only a small fraction (12.1%) reported them, although 93.5% expressed willingness to report. Conclusions: The study underscores a knowledge gap among physicians and residents regarding MvPI in India, highlighting the necessity for educational interventions. To address this gap, MvPI coordinators should organize conferences and seminars aimed at enhancing awareness and reporting practices among healthcare professionals.
