A unit manufacturing medical devices — marketed as a ‘Patient Monitor (EYVA – Electronic Medical Device)’ and claimed to track human vital parameters — has been seized by the Telangana Drugs Control Administration (DCA) after officials found the devices were manufactured and sold without a valid licence in Hyderabad’s Raidurg area.
Acting on information, the DCA officials, along with officers of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) Hyderabad Zone, conducted a raid on Tuesday (February 3, 2026) at Bluesemi Research and Development Private Limited. During the inspection, they detected the unlicensed manufacture and sale of the patient monitoring device. Stocks worth ₹4 lakh, which were manufactured and stocked for sale, were seized from the premises. User manuals and sale invoices were also seized as part of the operation.
The officials said further investigation is under way and action will be initiated against those responsible in accordance with the law.
The officials warned that manufacturing medical devices without a valid licence is a punishable offence under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, carrying imprisonment of up to 5 years.
The DCA stated that under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, medical devices intended for measuring parameters falling under Risk Class A or Risk Class B categories must be manufactured under a valid licence in Form MD-5 issued by the Telangana Drugs Control Administration. Such devices are also required to comply with the Quality Management System requirements laid down in the Fifth Schedule of the Medical Devices Rules and meet the prescribed product standards.
