Milestone 4 of 5 Responding to a medical device safety incident

Step 4: Investigate and implement corrective actions

After your initial report:

  • Conduct a root cause investigation
  • Submit follow-up reports to MHRA as new information emerges
  • Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
  • If other devices on the market may be affected, initiate a Field Safety Corrective Action (recall, modification, or additional warnings)
  • Issue a Field Safety Notice to users and distributors
