Regulatory science of medical devices serves the scientific research and regulatory activities for supervision of medical devices. Principles of science and transparency and conduction of evidence-based study, which is advocated in Evidence-based science(EBS), also apply to regulatory science of medical devices, including using evidence-based scientific tools and methods to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness, as well as quality, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of total life cycle of medical products, target customers, and scope. EBS provides both new methods and tools for regulatory science for medical devices, and provides a new basis for further scientific regulatory decisions.
