OBJECTIVES: RedETS, created in 2006, is the Spanish network of health technology assessment agencies. The objective of this work is to describe and assess the quality of the full economic evaluation reports carried out by RedETS on medical devices(FEEMD). METHODS: The FEEMD were identified through the RedETS website publications database. Assessments about screening technologies were not included. The characteristics of FEEMD were analysed using a formal RedETS HTA quality checklist. The characteristics extracted were analysed through a descriptive univariate analysis. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: The economic evaluations of MD published by the RedETS accomplish most of the quality checklist aspects and are therefore exhaustive. These FEEMD have been used in the framework of decision making for an efficient management of the NHS basic portfolio.
