A New Dimension in Ensuring Safety of Laser and Light-Based Devices in Dermatological Practice- Materiovigilance Programme
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Medical Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction of LASERS and their applications have given new multiple dimensions for less invasive, more precise and effective treatment of skin lesions with some adverse events following treatment in clinical practice of Dermatology. They are source of electromagnetic irradiation with application for cutting, destruction, coagulation or restoration of skin tissues. The main objective of this study is to bring in more of awareness about technical and practical hinderances expected during application of Lasers for ensuring effective management while treating skin lesions. As Indians have more dermal melanin content are prone for skin injuries and complications subjected to light-based devices treatment, which may lead to permanent sequelae. Prioritizing safety of patients before, during and after treatment following adverse events, to follow certain standard guidelines and timely reporting of adverse events while using medical devices to Materiovigilance Programme of India cell for improving more effective treatment for better patient treatment outcome with quality health care treatment approach. Clinicians who are treating with lasers must have complete knowledge on usage of devices and their adverse events, to follow standard protocols for quick action and timely treatment of patients and timely reporting to Bio medical Engineering department for correction of devices. Regular conduction of sensitization and awareness programmes to all healthcare professionals to notify and report to Medical Device Monitoring Centres for effective implementation of Materio-vigilance Programme of India.
