Supplementary notes

Figures include the number of approved new medical devices and improved medical devices.
New medical devices have a clearly different structure, usage, indications, performance, etc., compared with those for which marketing approval has been granted.
Improved medical devices are devices that do not fall under “new medical devices” or “generic medical devices,” and are not so novel as to be subject to re-examination, nor are substantially equivalent to existing medical devices in terms of structure, usage, indications, performance, etc. (as defined under the PMD Act).
