Parliamentary Committee Calls for Stronger Oversight of Radiation Medical Devices

A recent parliamentary committee review has highlighted critical gaps in the testing and regulatory control of radiation-emitting medical devices in India. These devices, widely used in diagnostics and therapy, pose safety risks if not adequately evaluated before market approval. The report emphasizes the need for clearer regulatory responsibilities, updated testing protocols, and stronger enforcement mechanisms to protect patients and healthcare professionals. Understanding these recommendations is important for manufacturers, hospitals, and compliance teams navigating evolving medical device regulations.
