The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on medical device manufacturing, with disruptions at both the device and component level due to lockdowns and social distancing measures. While the post pandemic effects on medical device development is well understood, there is a need for a comprehensive review of the impact on medical device design and manufacturing and to address emerging trends due to component shortages. This paper aims to provide an assessment of the effects of increased demand for medical devices and propose a new model addressing the impact of just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing practices, rapid design change and validation strategies being undertaken, the transformation of the medical device repair and service industry, FDA and regulatory changes, provide a view on future trends in both R&D and manufacturing of medical devices.
