German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Beihnahe-Vorkommnis
This term appears in the Medizinproduktgesetz. Its meaning is summarised (in the document I am translating) as

Meldungen ueber Vorkommnisse ..

Der Betreiber hat jede Funktionsstoerung ... eines Medizinproduktes, die zu Tode oder zu einer ...Verschlechterung des Gesundheitszustandes eines patienten, eines Beschaeftigten oser eines Dritten gefuehrt hat ... dem Bundesinstitut fuer Arzneimittel und Medizin zu melden."

So there is the definition! I woud be grateful if anyone could suggest the correct term in English.

Now again searching for "near incident" + death + medical devices:
