    Posted 25-Jun-2011 21:26
    Anyone know of a source for vigilance reporting requirements by country for both devices and drugs / biologics? I'm in need of number of days an AE, SAE, MEDDEV is required to be reported to the local MOH or regulatory body. Particularly hard to find has been Asia Pacific and Latin America. Any help is appreciated. ------------------------------------------- Russ Hangos QA GMP Compliance United States -------------------------------------------

    You have had a number of valuable and helpful responses to this question.  I believe the responses that will ultimately be most useful to you are the ones that provide links to the original sources.  If I were representing an external authority looking at your handling of these questions (such as an ISO 13485 auditor) I would want to see evidence that your actual source of information in each case is regulatory information from the authorities of the countries in question. Alternatively, you might reasonably obtain the needed information from a regulatory consultant whom your company has determined to be a qualified supplier of this information.
