W danych o wycofaniach powtarza się ten sam obraz: rzadko zawodzi sama technologia wyrobu. Najczęstsze przyczyny to błędy w etykietowaniu i instrukcji używania, wady oprogramowania, problemy ze sterylnością lub pakowaniem oraz niespójności w dokumentacji i identyfikacji partii. Są to problemy regulacyjne, nie tylko „awarie sprzętu”, dlatego wielu z nich można uniknąć.
Klasa wycofania (Class I, II, III w nomenklaturze FDA) określa powagę zagrożenia, nie klasę ryzyka wyrobu. Class I oznacza realne ryzyko poważnego uszczerbku na zdrowiu — i to tam najczęściej w tle leży niedoszacowane ryzyko albo luka w nadzorze posprzedażowym.
Dla importera wniosek jest praktyczny: przed wprowadzeniem wyrobu spoza UE należy sprawdzić historię producenta. Wpis na liście wycofań FDA nie przesądza o sytuacji w UE, ale jest sygnałem ostrzegawczym — wskazuje, gdzie szukać słabych punktów w dokumentacji i procesach. Dla producenta to z kolei mapa najczęstszych potknięć, które wymagają kontroli w dokumentacji technicznej, zarządzaniu ryzykiem i planie PMS.
Większości tych wycofań dałoby się uniknąć rzetelną oceną ryzyka (EN ISO 14971), spójną dokumentacją i działającym nadzorem po wprowadzeniu do obrotu. Przed wejściem na rynek warto sprawdzić właśnie te obszary: ocenę ryzyka, kompletność dokumentacji i działający nadzór po wprowadzeniu do obrotu.
Weryfikacji podlegają dokumentacja, ocena ryzyka i nadzór posprzedażowy — czyli obszary, które najczęściej stoją za wycofaniami.
