The global device nomenclature refers to the standardized naming conventions and classification systems used to identify and categorize medical devices worldwide. These nomenclatures often follow regulatory guidelines set by organizations like the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) or the World Health Organization (WHO). They help ensure consistency in terminology across different regions, facilitating communication between healthcare professionals, regulators, manufacturers, and other stakeholders. This standardization is crucial for accurate product documentation, regulatory compliance, and patient safety.
