Description
Daniele Marques and co-authors review twelve years of medical device assessment at Brazil's health technology agency in a 2025 abstract. The agency, CONITEC, decides which technologies enter the public health system. Devices pose special assessment challenges compared with drugs.
Of 1,082 assessment requests, most came from inside government, and medicines dominated. Seventy-six concerned products and 174 procedures. Of those combined proposals, 159 won incorporation recommendations while 35 were turned down. About eighteen percent of device requests triggered horizon scanning analyses that flag coming technologies early. In the last two years every device demand produced such a scan, signaling a maturing process. The authors call for device-specific methods, databases, and guidelines to keep pace.
