EU MDR Consultants
EU MDR consultants are professionals who specialize in helping medical device manufacturers such as equipment, single-use devices, medical software, implants, various active and non-active devices, reusable devices, hospitable consumables, etc and other stakeholders comply with the requirements set forth by the EU MDR.
New European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, which is a comprehensive set of regulations governing medical devices in the European Union (EU). It was adopted by the European Parliament and Council in April 2017 and came into effect on May 26, 2021, replacing the previous Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC and Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (AIMDD) 90/385/EEC.
These regulations, which came into effect on May 26, 2022, are designed to ensure the general safety and performance of medical devices marketed within the European Union. Key provisions of the MDR 2017/745 include:
- Classification of Medical Devices
- Conformity Assessment
- Post-Market Surveillance
- Unique Device Identification (UDI)
- Clinical Evidence
- Notified Bodies
- Traceability
Compliance with the MDR is mandatory for all medical devices imported or manufactured for sale in the EU, and non-compliance can result in rejection at the port of entry, product recalls, suspension of CE certificate or other regulatory actions.
