Let’s start with the official definition of the World Health Organization (WHO) for „patient safety":

„Patient safety is a framework of organized activities that creates cultures, processes, procedures, behaviours, technologies and environments in health care that consistently and sustainably lower risks, reduce the occurrence of avoidable harm, make error less likely and reduce its impact when it does occur.“

This brief definition makes it clear that patient safety is not just in the hands of an attending physician. Rather, it involves the interaction of many responsible parties.

In our role as a medical device manufacturer, we are aware of our responsibility to patients and also to medical professionals.
