Medical devices

A medical device can be any instrument, product or software (including AI) that works to achieve a therapeutic purpose in a human being.

Medical devices include a wide range of products. For example, medical gloves, bandages, syringes, software and artificial intelligence blood pressure monitors, and X-ray equipment. 

While medical devices aim to improve your health and wellbeing, it's important to know that their use also has potential risks.

You should report a problem or side effect associated with medical devices.
