Medical devices fall into several categories, depending on the degree of risk they pose to human health. Devices that can be used inside the body pose the highest risk factor, and therefore, are controlled by the tightest regulations. These include arterial stents, heart valves, surgical instruments, artificial joints, bone grafts, and prosthetics. At medium risk are products that have temporary contact with the skin. These include heart monitors, tongue depressors, IV drips, fitness trackers, and other diagnostic equipment. At the lowest risk is support equipment such as clamps, pill dispensers, trays, clinical furniture, and laboratory testing apparatus.
