         a) makes available on the market a device under its name, registered trade name or registered
              trade mark, except in cases where a distributor or importer enters into an agreement with a
              manufacturer whereby the manufacturer is identified as such on the label and is responsible for

     paragraph 2 shall indicate on the device or, where that is impracticable, on its packaging or in a
     document accompanying the device, the activity carried out together with its name, registered
     trade name or registered trade mark, registered place of business and the address at which it
     can be contacted, so that its location can be established. Distributors and importers shall ensure that
     they have in place a quality management system that includes procedures which ensure that the
     translation of information is accurate and up-to-date, and that the activities mentioned in points (a) and
     (b) of paragraph 2 are performed by a means and under conditions that preserve the original condition

Materiovigilance

                   43
Materiovigilance

•   The purpose of materiovigilance is to study and follow incidents that might result from
    using medical devices as well as the assessment and follow-up of safety corrective
    actions. It enables dangerous devices to be withdrawn from the market and to
    eliminate faults in medical devices with the intention of constantly improving the
    quality of devices and providing patients and users with increased safety.

•   Materiovigilance only refers to medical devices and their accessories whereas
    pharmacovigilance refers to medicines

•   Incident: “Any malfunction or deterioration in the characteristics and/or performance
    of a device, as well as any inadequacy in the labeling or the instructions for use
    which, directly or indirectly, might lead to or might have led to the death of a patient,
    or USER or of other persons or to a serious deterioration in their state of health.”

•   Field safety corrective action (FSCA): is an action taken by a MANUFACTURER to
    reduce a risk of death or serious deterioration in the state of health associated with
    the use of a medial device that is already placed on the market. Such actions should
    be notified via a field safety notice (FSN) to the users of the device.

                                                                                        44

Legal basis

•     Article 68 – loi du 18 décembre 2016 portant des dispositions
      diverses en matière de santé:
L'article 34 de la même loi, modifié par la loi du 26 décembre 2015, est remplacé par ce qui suit :
Art. 34. Les opérateurs sont redevables d'une contribution annuelle d'un maximum de 0,4026092 % sur leur chiffre d'affaires de
dispositifs médicaux réalisé l'année civile précédente sur le marché belge.
La contribution annuelle visée à l'alinéa 1er est, pour l'année de contribution concernée, multipliée par le quotient du déficit à financer
au compte d'exécution du budget tel que visé à l'article 6, § 2, de la loi du 16 mars 1954 relative au contrôle de certains organismes
d'intérêt public, de l'Agence fédérale des Médicaments et des Produits de Santé pour l'année de contribution concernée et du
dénominateur.
Le dénominateur visé à l'alinéa 2 est la somme de :
-     la contribution annuelle maximum, celle-ci ne pouvant être inférieure à 500 euros par distributeur;
-     le nombre total d'autorisations qui sont soumises à la contribution forfaitaire visée à l'article 225, § 1er, de la loi du 12 août 2000
      portant des dispositions sociales, budgétaires et diverses et multiplié par le montant maximum de celle-ci.
Pour l'application du présent article, le déficit à financer au compte d'exécution est la différence entre les dépenses et les recettes
pour cette année avant l'imputation de la présente contribution annuelle et de la contribution forfaitaire visée à l'article 225, § 1er, de la
loi du 12 août 2000 portant des dispositions sociales, budgétaires et diverses.
Le quotient est positif et est de maximum 1. L'Agence fédérale des Médicaments et des Produits de Santé publie le montant du
quotient sur son site web avant le 31 mai de l'année qui suit l'année de contribution.
La contribution annuelle visée à l'alinéa 2 est réglée par le paiement d'une avance avant le 31 décembre de l'année de contribution
concernée et d'un solde. L'avance est calculée sur la base du maximum de la contribution, avec un minimum de 500 euros. Le solde
est remboursé.
Par dérogation à l'alinéa 6, l'AFMPS calcule l'avance, pour l'année de contribution suivante, en y incluant le solde si le redevable
reste le même.
Le montant de 500 euros du présent chapitre est adapté annuellement, en fonction de l'indice du mois de septembre, à l'évolution de
l'indice des prix à la consommation. L'indice de départ est celui du mois de septembre précédant la publication de la présente loi au

Legal Basis

•     Article 35 – loi du 15 décembre 2013 – loi en matière de
      dispositifs médicaux:
Art. 35. Les distributeurs tiennent un journal particulier, organisé de telle sorte que les détails des opérations de vente, d'exportation et
des services fournis concernant les dispositifs puissent être suivis, en indiquant le montant, le mode et le jour de la perception ainsi que
les prélèvements en nature autres que pour leur entreprise, ainsi que les conséquences de ces opérations pour le chiffre d'affaires de
dispositifs médicaux.
Le journal particulier est tenu en permanence à la disposition de l'AFMPS au siège social du distributeur ou, s'il est différent, au lieu
principal où s'exercent les activités. Si le distributeur n'a pas de siège en Belgique, ou est une personne physique sans domicile en
Belgique, mais dispose d'une ou de plusieurs antennes ou d'un ou plusieurs centres d'activités, la mise à disposition a lieu dans la
principale antenne ou le principal centre d'activités en Belgique, et le distributeur s'assure que l'adresse de ce centre est connue de
l'AFMPS.
Le distributeur introduit chaque année avant le 1er avril auprès de l'AFMPS une déclaration du chiffre d'affaires de dispositifs
médicaux de l'année civile précédente, certifiée par un réviseur ou un expert-comptable sur la base du journal particulier.
Que le distributeur soit soumis ou non à la loi du 17 juillet 1975 relative à la comptabilité des entreprises, les articles 6 à 8, les arrêtés
d'exécution de ceux-ci, et l'article 16 de la loi précitée du 17 juillet 1975 s'appliquent à la tenue du journal particulier et à l'attestation du
chiffre d'affaires.
Le Roi peut fixer un modèle pour la déclaration visée à l'alinéa 3.

                                                                                                                                      49
