WHEN IT APPLIES

Under EU MDR, Class IIa covers medium-risk devices (e.g., many short-term invasive devices). Classification uses Annex VIII rules and drives Notified Body involvement and clinical evidence depth.

PROCESS / STEPS

  1. Apply MDR classification rules carefully (duration of use, invasiveness, active nature).
  2. Engage a Notified Body for conformity assessment appropriate to Annex IX/X/XI route.
  3. Build technical documentation, CER, and PMS/PMCF proportionate to risk.
  4. Maintain certificates and EUDAMED registration obligations.

EXAMPLES

  • Hearing aids, short-term catheters, and many diagnostic devices fall in IIa depending on rules.
