MEDICAL DEVICES: A NEW ERA IN PHARMA     INTRODUCTION According the FDA, the medical devices can be defined as an instrument, apparatus, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part or accessory which is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals. The WHO states without medical devices, common medical procedures – from bandaging a sprained ankle, to diagnosing HIV/AIDS, implanting an artificial hip or any surgical intervention – would not be possible. Medical devices are used in many diverse settings, for example, by laypersons at home, by paramedical staff and clinicians in remote clinics, by opticians and dentists and by health-care professionals in advanced medical facilities, for prevention and screening and in pallia
