Industry Hearings on Medical Device Registry Draft Law

The Italian Senate’s Social Affairs Committee is scheduled to hold hearings on May 12, 2026, regarding a draft law to establish a medical device registry. The sessions are set to begin at 14:00.

Two primary industry organizations, Confindustria Dispositivi Medici and Confimi Industria, will appear before the committee to provide testimony and input on the proposed legislation.

The legislative focus of the hearings is the Ddl registro dispositivi medici, a draft law aimed at creating a formal registry for medical devices. Such registries are designed to enhance the traceability of medical equipment, improve patient safety, and standardize the monitoring of devices throughout their lifecycle within the healthcare system.

Confindustria Dispositivi Medici represents the medical technology sector within the General Confederation of Italian Industry. Confimi Industria provides representation for industrial enterprises across various sectors, including those involved in the production and distribution of medical technology.

The hearings are taking place within the Senate’s Social Affairs Committee, the body responsible for reviewing health-related legislation and assessing the potential impact of new regulatory requirements on both the public health system and the industrial sector before the bill moves toward a final vote.
