The change would make it mandatory for doctors who implant, remove or replace breast implants to log certain data in a registry.
, the committee announced they’ve launched a study into the feasibility and scope of a Canada-wide breast implant registry., an MP for the Bloc Québécois and vice-chair of the health committee, the change would make it mandatory for doctors who implant, remove or replace breast implants to log certain data in a registry.
Citing health impacts linked to breast implants, including risks of cancer, Theriault said at the time: “Since there’s no registry, the women who are dealing with the problems or who are unaware of any potential problems can’t verify what was implanted in them.” On Monday, David Boudreau, the head of Health Canada’s medical devices directorate, gave an overview of what this update could look like, saying a registry could “support patient safety notifications, also referred to as track and trace, or have a research purpose, or both.”
Boudreau added that “while registries are often used to support research, it is not a common mechanism to monitor the safety of medical devices.” Canada’s currently only medical device registry monitors joint replacements for medical research, Boudreau continued — a new registry could introduce patient privacy and data sharing concerns.
As the details are still fuzzy, Boudreau doesn’t have a price point for the project — though he anticipates it may be “quite expensive.”
