Recall of medical devices are mechanisms to ensure that device problems that happen do not cause serious harm to the patient population. Corrections are done to address these device problems. The Regulatory authority for medical devices ensures that the post surveillance measures are in place so that the monitoring of device problems, hazards, corrections, recalls and termination of recalls are documented. The Regulatory Authorities maintain databases which provide information on device problems, adverse events and recalls.  When analysing the regulatory databases, it is seen that recalls happen during the product lifecycle, only after a certain time period of occurrence of device problems and consequent occurring of adverse events. This study tries to analyse some of the cases to see how the incident management is happening in the case of medical device recalls from the data available under United States Food and Drug Administration. The analysis is done on the basis of recall initiation, termination of recall, the critical adverse events like death reported during the period and the proactive actions that can reduce the harm due to device problems through cases of interest. It is interesting to note that the manufacturers take intermittent measures during the course of recall which is seen to reflect in the adverse event data.  The study concludes that tracking the critical elements like Recall- Termination Time, Adverse Events Curve Pattern, Exposure Time would be indications of efficient incident management measures executed by the manufacturers. The study also highlights the fact that all the above critical elements are dependent on the kind of device problem.
