It is our urgent mission at present to introduce a concept of a vigilance system for medical devices and to establish the medical devices vigilance regulation in China in strengthening the supervision and administration. Our systems and regulations should be instituted at the international level while directly adopting the ripe experiences in world markets. In the light of domestic specific conditions, this paper discusses the reporting scope of adverse events of medical devices and the relations among the main responsible bodies, laying emphasis upon how to find adverse events and how to deal with them. Adverse events should be brought into a localized supervision system and should be also linked with other laws and regulations now available. While establishing a reporting system for medical devices' adverse events, great importance should be attached to the handling of these events. In regard to the tracing back of implantable medical devices, the bar code technology should be adopted as early as possible.
