The main aim of this study is to review the effect caused by Covid 19 on the medical device industry and to study the challenges faced by the medical device industry in different countries such as India, the USA, European countries. In earlier May 2020, over 4.7 million people have been confirmed to be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, and governments are worried to get contain its spread. The high RO value (a measure of contagiousness-estimated to be between 2.0 and 3.02) of SARS-CoV-2 means that those infected copiously spread the virus and develop complications suddenly. As a result, health care systems are widespread, and the effective delivery of medical care to all patients has become challenging to the whole world. Improper seeking to early warning signals, less amount of stockpiling, lack of ease to testing kits and personal protective equipment (PPE), and country-wise variability in the approaches to testing kits, distribution of PPE, and timing and degree of social distancing measures are likely to get affect the spread of disease. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to get imbalanced, medical device companies are finding it difficult to make précised decisions about their products, supply chains, and regulatory obligations in the advent of uncertainty. With a technique that leverages exemptions, production procedures that innovate to fill needs, and a communication plan that works across public and personal entities, which may navigate the chaos and support public health. Obligations from governing bodies and conversations with key decision-makers and regulatory authorities hold the key to the success of the medical device industry. At last, the implementation of several new regulations may be postponing as making many companies and regulatory agencies time to react to the crisis. However, there is no evidence to make this scenario be the deadline for suggestions.
