Abstract

This paper presents software solution, eVerlab, for tracking processes of inspection of Medical Devices that are introduced into Legal Metrology System in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and are used in public and private health care institutions.

The software is implemented in Oracle Application Development Framework Technology (ADF) and it is used to facilitate gathering of documents such as Inspection Certificates, Working Orders, Inspection Reports, Calculated Errors, and also to keep track of dates for next inspection. The software can be accessed online via Inspection Laboratory (Verlab) website, and all clients, as well as employees can login using their own username and password which makes all inspection data confidential.

By Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina No. 75/14, inspection process of Medical Devices that are introduced into Legal Metrology System in Bosnia and Herzegovina is legal obligation. All inspection procedures and rules defined by National Metrology Institute (NMI) of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) are based on Standards and Directives IEC 60601, ISO 62353 and MDD 93/42.

Out of 331 health care institutions in BH 158 institutions were used for software validation more than 3000 inspection tests reports were imported in software.
