ABSTRACT
Medical device is a significant component of patient treatment. So, it requires effective
regulation for manufacturing, sell and distribution. The design, development, and marketing
of advanced medical technology are greatly affected by the medical device regulations. So,
the foundation of successful medical device innovation is a thorough understanding of the
numerous regulatory requirements and their practical application. Throughout the past twenty
years, there has been a significant increase in the quantity, variety, and complexity of medical
equipment. The need for a stable regulatory perspective has led to advancements in the
regulation of these devices as well. In this research paper, we conduct survey in different
sectors of pharmacy such as students and industries. This is completely questionnaire based
online survey on regulation of medical device in India and USA, circulated via google form
to different professions (students and industry) through email and several social media
platforms, including WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. We analysed the received responses and the
received responses defines knowledge of regulation of medical device. The study finds that
professionals in the industry are better knowledgeable about medical device regulation than
students, which necessitates the inclusion of more sources for students in order to give them
more readily understood knowledge in the future.
