Concept of Materiovigilance in Ayurveda
Abstract
Incidents or any undesirable events occurring due to medical devices are being reported under Materiovigilance programme. Though concept of Materiovigilance are vibrant in various classical texts of Ayurveda, the ancient medical science, but a single hand information in this regard is lacking till date. Present paper deals with available evidence of use of various types of medical devices and view of ancient Ayurveda scholars about their safe uses.
Ayurveda Samhita records sample number of description about the safe use of medical devices in various context. Varieties of Shastra (Instruments), Anushastras (Devices used for para-surgical process) and Yantra (Equipments) etc. being used as medical devices in surgical, para-surgical, Panchakarma procedures. Some of the instruments and equipment are also reported for their use in daily regime as a Bhajana (container) and in the preparation of herbomineral drugs. Specific materials to be used for the preparation of these devises along with their specific measurements have also been recorded. Possible effects of container on the content were well versed to the ancient experts of Ayurveda and are well reflected with various textual references. Only need is awareness of its proper use and reporting of undesirable incidence to avoid any harm or loss in future and for the betterment of the system.
