The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) acknowledges the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all countries and citizens. The use of essential medical devices such as ventilators, oxygen concentrators, syringes and test kits contributed to the efforts of pandemic responses around the world, as with other products regulated in some countries such as surgical face masks.

The IMDRF held a Joint Workshop on COVID-19 in March 2021 and held regular discussions about the impacts, experiences and challenges during the pandemic. Members continue to share information about changes made to regulatory frameworks that aim to assist preparations for future pandemics. Some of these included emergency use or other systems to expedite access and supply of essential medical devices, flexible and pragmatic approaches to regulatory processes such as remote inspections, and publishing information about approval pathways and availability of critical medical devices.
