MHRA Launches COVID-19 Reporting Site for Device-Related Adverse Events

The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has set up a website for reporting adverse events linked to medical devices used in the COVID-19 pandemic.

The agency’s new Yellow Card COVID-19 reporting site (https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/) is designed to make it easier for device users to report issues, such as problems with diagnostics or ventilators.

The site is part of MHRA’s preparation for large-scale use of new or repurposed medicines, medical devices, diagnostic tests and future vaccines for COVID-19, the MHRA said.
