Reporting of serious incidents

 
REPORTING BY healthcare professionals, users and patients

Any suspected serious incident is to be notified promptly to JAZMP by using the form for reporting:

DO NOT DISCARD the medical device that caused the incident; RETURN it to the manufacturer for analysis.

In accordance with Article 30 of ZMedPri-1 (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia no. 40/2025), healthcare professionals shall report any suspected serious incidents involving medical devices to JAZMP as soon as possible, or at the latest within 48 hours of discovering or becoming aware of the serious incident. Based on the consent of the healthcare professional, JAZMP may send the economic operator the name and contact details of the healthcare professional as stated in the report for the purpose of the investigation.

For the purpose of investigating a serious incident, the healthcare institution shall allow the economic operator access to the device involved in the suspected serious incident and which it has reported. If this is not possible, the healthcare institution shall provide a sample of the same device.

REPORTING BY medical device manufacturers or their authorised representatives

The medical device manufacturer or its authorised representative must report a serious incident involving a medical device that has occurred in Slovenia to the JAZMP using the standard European Manufacturer Incident Report Form: 

As a general rule, the timeline for reporting a serious incident takes into account the severity of the incident:
  • in the event of a serious public health threat, the report must be submitted immediately and no later than 2 days after the manufacturer has learned of the threat.
  • in the event of a death or an unanticipated serious deterioration in a person’s state of health, the report must be provided immediately after the manufacturer has established a causal relationship between the device and the serious incident or as soon as they suspect it, and no later than 10 days after the date on which the manufacturer has learned of the serious incident.
  • Manufacturers must report any serious incident immediately after having established the causal relationship between such an incident and their device or having determined that such causal relationship is reasonably possible, and no later than 15 days after they have learned of the incident.
