I think that the world is definitely moving towards one global system for regulations of medical devices. In addition, I believe that a global system of medical device regulation will have a plethora of positive benefits on the world. For example, it would allow countries to easily utilize products and devices from others without going through another verification and testing process for regulation. The only major problem I see is one that Nicole pointed out, in that not every country has the resources to test a device in the manner that would be required for the US FDA standards.
