title: Requirements specification for a harmonized medical device vigilance information exchange system.
abstract: Effective and efficient medical device vigilance information exchange requires addressing several organizational and technical issues in a harmonized way. This paper describes a conceptual data model that has been derived within the scope of the EUROMEDIES project and accepted by project participants as a meaningful representation of data requirements on medical device vigilance. A possible scenario of a distributed implementation of the model is also discussed.
