Medical devices play a central role in hospitals for the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and care of patients. They range from simple aids such as bandages and catheters, to diagnostic devices like ECGs and ultrasound machines, to complex systems such as ventilators, infusion pumps, and imaging techniques like CT or MRI. The diversity and specialization of medical devices are guided by the specific requirements of the various departments – such as intensive care, surgery, emergency room, or inpatient care. It is crucial that all products used meet the high legal requirements for safety, quality, and functionality, as regulated, for example, by the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The selection, maintenance, and proper use of medical devices require not only structured procurement but also trained personnel and a functioning quality management system. In a modern hospital, medical devices are indispensable – they form the technological backbone for efficient, safe, and patient-oriented care.
