    Withdrawal and Recall Guideline of Medical Devices and In Vitro Diagnostic Devices has been Published

    The Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TITCK) has published a guideline to establish procedures and principles for the withdrawal and recall of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices. The guideline outlines TITCK's authority, economic operators' responsibilities and the classification criteria for non-conformity, which is divided into three categories. The responsible enterprise must establish a procedure for the withdrawal and recall of devices, conduct risk-based studies, not supply non-conforming devices to the market, and take relevant measures within the scope of TITCK's withdrawal and recall plans. Economic enterprises not responsible for withdrawal or recall must stop using and putting the devices into service and inform TITCK upon request.
