The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is warning the public not to buy counterfeit or unbranded anti-choking devices as they do not comply with device regulations and could cause harm. It is estimated that over 10,000 counterfeit or unbranded anti-choking devices, also known as airway clearance devices, choking rescue devices or emergency first aid devices, have been purchased by the public within the last two years based on listings found across online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, and drop-shipping websites.

Drugdu.com expert’s response: The US QSR820 quality system refers to the Quality System Regulation issued by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical devices. This regulation, also known as the Medical Device Quality System Standard, sets forth the quality management system requirements that medical device manufacturers must follow to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. QSR820 covers various aspects including design controls, production controls, equipment calibration, quality audits, record-keeping, etc. ISO13485 is the medical device quality management system standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It bears some similarities to QSR820 as both are quality management system standards for the medical device industry aimed at ensuring product quality and safety. However, ISO13485 is an international standard applicable to medical device manufacturers globally, whereas QSR820 is a regulatory standard mandated by the FDA specifically for medical devices marketed in the United States.

Merck revealed that its Phase III KEYLYNK-006 clinical trial, which tested a combination of Keytruda and Lynparza for the treatment of a subset of patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), failed to meet the primary endpoint of improving overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
