GOVERNMENT & LEGAL AFFAIRS

Medtech organizations in countries and regions throughout the world have adopted the structure of the AdvaMed code as a starting point for developing their own country- or region-specific codes. The AdvaMed code focuses on appropriate interactions with healthcare professionals, and structures its guidance under the following seven headings.

• Member-sponsored product training and education.
• Supporting third-party educational conferences.
• Arrangements with consultants.
• Sales and promotional meetings.
• Gifts.
• Provision of reimbursement and other economic information.
• Grants and other charitable donations.
