MeDevPacks is a comprehensive database of medical devices, medical furniture, and supply packages designed to meet specific healthcare interventions, complementary to MeDevIS.

These packages include the single items listed in MeDevIS, organized in bundles to be used in the Universal Health Coverage Compendium, specifically in the UHC Service Planning, Delivery & Implementation (SPDI) Platform, ensuring that medical interventions are supported by the necessary health products and technologies.

Once a setting package is defined, multiple medical interventions can take place within that environment. Each intervention demands its own package of instruments, tools, and consumables. Moreover, alternative technologies may require different sets of equipment to achieve the same medical outcome.

MeDevPacks categorizes these packages based on their functional interaction and purpose:

• Set A group of instruments that belong together, (i.e. surgical set).
• Kit: A collection of two or more medical devices packaged together for a specific procedure or user convenience.
• System: A package of equipment, software, accessories, that work together as an essential unit, (i.e. an ultrasound system with probes and software).
• Module: A group of interchangeable products that together meet the functional needs of a healthcare setting, (i.e. as an operating room’s required furniture, lighting, and equipment).
• Furniture: A package including only medical furniture, (i.e. examination beds, infusion poles, and stretchers).
• Consumables: A package of single-use medical items needed for one procedure, including protective equipment.

These package categories were evaluated and endorsed by the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Medical Devices (STAG MEDEV) to ensure global applicability and effectiveness in healthcare delivery.
