Applications for the competition «Safety of Medical Devices - for the Benefit of People» are open

Within the IV All-Russian Forum with International Participation «Circulation of Medical Devices NOVAMED-2024», a competition titled «Safety of Medical Devices for the Benefit of People» will be held.

Organizations producing medical devices and authorized representatives from manufacturers are invited to participate. Applicants can submit their projects either individually or as part of a team of up to 5 people.

A responsible approach is essential

The aim of the competition is to promote significant projects that adhere to high standards in terms of quality, efficacy, and safety of medical products in Russia. It also aims to highlight best practices in implementing quality management systems.

Igor Ivanov, the General Director of the All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute for Medical Technologies, part of the Roszdravnadzor organization, said that the competition has become increasingly popular among manufacturers and is attracting attention from industry professionals.

In 2023, 12 entries were submitted from 9 different regions of Russia for the competition. The Laureate diplomas were awarded to Elatomsky Instrument Plant, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, and Ulan-Ude Instrument Manufacturing Association. Additionally, several companies were recognized with awards in various categories within the last year's event, including «Reliable Manufacturer», «Digital Prospect», «Childcare», «Success Application», and «Responsible Manufacturer».

«Today, great attention is paid to the quality, efficiency, and safety of medical devices produced by companies and manufacturing enterprises. This is because the preservation of our most valuable resource, health, depends largely on it. By encouraging responsible manufacturers, organizers strive not only to celebrate innovative projects but also to promote a responsible approach to developing and releasing medical products. The winners of the 2024 competition will have the opportunity to meet with industry experts and regulatory authorities at the NOVAMED forum, where they can ask questions, discuss important issues, and find solutions», said Igor Ivanov.

This year, the FSAU Institute of Medical Materials has become a co-organizer of the competition, which plays an important role in promoting the development of the Russian medical industry. As part of the competition, the institute, together with other organizers, will be establishing a special award, as announced by Andrey Generalov, the director of the FGAU "IMM", a ministry of industry and trade of Russia.

«The Institute is a unified scientific and analytical center of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, dedicated to medical devices, raw materials, and supplies. It aligns with the competitive spirit. Our expertise in standardization for medical device production, as well as development of scientific and methodological solutions for supporting domestic industry growth, will serve as a solid foundation for evaluating submitted projects. Additionally, for FGAI IMM, this competition will provide a valuable platform for multilateral engagement with Russian manufacturers», said Andrei Generalov.
