AI 의료기기 382건 쏟아졌는데…이상사례 보고는 '0건'

Quick Look

최근 3년간 신기술 의료기기 이상사례가 매년 증가했으나 AI 기반 의료기기 관련 보고는 단 한 건도 없어 보고 체계 작동 여부에 대한 지적이 제기됨.

신기술 의료기기 이상사례 3년간 27건…AI 관련 보고 전무

허종식 "소프트웨어 오류 잡아낼 보고 체계 점검해야"

(서울=연합뉴스) 신선미 기자 = 신기술 의료기기 사용과 관련한 이상사례(부작용)가 최근 3년간 해마다 증가하고 있으나, 이중 인공지능(AI) 기반 의료기기 이상사례 보고는 전무한 것으로 나타났다.

이에 국회에서는 AI 의료기기 이상사례 보고 체계가 작동하지 않을 가능성이 있다며, 체계를 재점검해야 한다는 지적이 나온다.

12일 국회 보건복지위원회 소속 더불어민주당 허종식 의원이 식품의약품안전처에서 받은 자료에 따르면 AI 기반 소프트웨어 의료기기의 허가·인증·신고는 해마다 늘고 있다.

연도별로는 2023년 62건에서 2024년 108건, 지난해 157건으로 2년 새 2.5배로 늘었고 올해 1분기에도 55건이 추가됐다.

2023년부터 AI 의료기기 382건이 시장에 새로 나온 셈이다.

그러나 2023년부터 올해 6월까지 보고된 국내 AI 의료기기·디지털 의료기기 관련 이상사례는 '0건'이다.

같은 기간 체외진단의료기기 등을 포함한 신기술 의료기기의 이상사례는 모두 27건 보고됐는데 이와는 대조적이다.

신기술 의료기기의 경우 허가가 늘고 있는 만큼 이상사례는 2023년 1건에서 2024년 8건, 지난해 16건으로 매년 늘었고 올해는 6월까지 2건이 보고됐다.

허 의원은 이와 관련해 "(이상사례) 보고가 법적 의무인데도 AI 의료기기의 경우 3년 넘게 한 건도 없다는 것은 소프트웨어 오류 잡아낼 보고 체계가 작동하지 않는다는 신호일 수 있다"고 지적했다.

AI 의료기기는 컴퓨터단층촬영(CT)·자기공명영상(MRI) 등 영상 판독 보조나 질병 진단 보조 등에 쓰인다.

알고리즘 오류나 판독 누락이 발생할 경우 진단 지연 등 환자 안전에 영향을 줄 가능성이 있다.

허 의원은 "소프트웨어 고유의 위험이 이상 사례로 보고될 수 있도록 기준을 정비하고 의료기관과 업체가 실제로 보고하는지 점검해야 한다"고 말했다.

[Health Focus] “Strengthening high blood pressure management can prevent approximately 510,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease per year.”

A research team at Johns Hopkins University in the United States analyzed data from 20 countries around the world and found that expanding hypertension control had the greatest effect on preventing death from cardiovascular disease. Increasing the current hypertension control rate from 20% to 80% could prevent more than 518,000 deaths per year, which is a greater effect than cholesterol-lowering drugs or diabetes management.

[Life] “The death of a 19-year-old with terminal cancer… I had to accept it as a doctor.”

In an interview, Professor Hyuna Kim of the Department of Rheumatology at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital criticized the 'medical-industrial complex', which is the combination of medicine and industry, and pointed out that expensive anticancer drugs and robotic surgery increase the burden on patients and worsen access to medical care. He was concerned about the reality that cheap and effective drugs, such as steroids, were being pushed out, and urged public discussion and the development of rational measures in medical policy.

Park Yong-jin, “Is it really appropriate to designate a drug with concerns over abuse for obesity?”

Park Yong-jin, vice chairman of the Regulatory Rationalization Committee, raised questions about whether it is appropriate to place Viagra and Maunjaro in the same regulatory framework, and criticized the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's plan to designate GLP-1 obesity treatment as a 'drug of concern for misuse or abuse'. He pointed out the global trend of viewing obesity as a chronic disease and the problems of high prices and illegal distribution, and argued that the basis and effectiveness of regulations should be carefully reviewed.

Last year, the number of cases of medical radiation use and radiation exposure per capita were the highest ever.

The number of domestic medical radiation uses and radiation exposure per capita have steadily increased over the past five years, reaching an all-time high last year, which is 2.7 times higher than the international average. Rep. Lee So-hee called for measures to check whether the guidelines are applied to the field and reduce unnecessary duplicate tests.
