UK SEARCH:
>> filter alerts, recalls, and safety communications by date, medical specialism, or other criteria. Additionally, there’s a specific search tool at
for querying alerts. Note that MHRA stopped issuing “Medical Device Alerts” in 2020 but continues with updated safety communications on the same platform. This can help identify product liabilities for Halma items like SunTech monitors in tort claims.
EU SEARCH:
EUDAMED (European Database on Medical Devices) consists of six modules covering aspects like actor registration, UDI/devices, notified bodies/certificates, clinical investigations, vigilance/post-market surveillance, and market surveillance. Public access is available for certain modules (e.g., devices, certificates), allowing searches by fields like manufacturer, model, risk class, UDI-DI, or EMDN codes via the official portal at
or third-party tools like
However, the vigilance module (for safety alerts and incidents) is not fully public and restricted to authorities, with alerts typically disseminated through national agencies rather than a centralized public search. The EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) system at
handles alerts for dangerous non-food products but explicitly excludes medical devices.
