Abstract
Accurate identification and management of medical devices is of particular importance to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance within healthcare systems. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of medical device data retrieval, focusing on the integration of web scraping and API technologies. The utilization of Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) and the Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN) system is emphasized to enhance device authentication, attribute verification, and accurate categorization.
This paper introduces a state-of-the-art code implementation that combines web scraping techniques and API integration to address the challenges of retrieving and verifying device information. The code facilitates both access to data and for healthcare professionals and stakeholders to make informed decisions based on reliable and up-to-date information. This is a significant and defining advance in the field, offering a powerful solution that is innovative as well as vital.
The paper concludes by discussing the potential impact of these developments on patient safety, regulatory compliance, and the overall advancement of healthcare technology. In addition, the importance of accurate device identification, the role of UDIs and GMDN, and the significance of the provided cutting-edge code are highlighted, providing valuable insights into the field of medical device data retrieval.
