Developing a Policy and Procedure Framework and Manual for a National Comprehensive Implantable Medical Device Registry in Saudi Arabia.

Policy and procedure manuals provide guidance on the operation and governance of medical device registries. In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has been developing and implementing a comprehensive national registry for implantable medical devices to facilitate the monitoring of device outcomes through post-market surveillance studies. To help guide the operations of this registry, the SFDA developed a policy and procedure manual.

Developing an Evidence-Based Clinical Dataset for the Comprehensive Implantable Medical Device Registry (CIMDR).

Medical registries are in a need of a data set that is based on clinical evidence. In 2014, the Saudi Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) launched a plan to develop the national Comprehensive Implantable Medical Device Registry (CIMDR). One of the primary goals of the CIMDR is to develop a clinical -and population- based data set.
