WHEN IT APPLIES
Market surveillance is the set of activities by competent authorities (and manufacturer post-market systems) to ensure devices on the market remain compliant and safe—distinct from, but related to, manufacturer PMS.
PROCESS / STEPS
- Authorities inspect, sample, and enforce; manufacturers must cooperate and respond to requests.
- Manufacturers run PMS/vigilance to detect issues early and support authority actions.
- Field safety corrective actions and recalls are coordinated under national rules.
- Keep distribution records to support rapid market actions.
EXAMPLES
- An EU competent authority market surveillance inspection may review technical documentation sampling and vigilance files.
