WHEN IT APPLIES

EU MDR (Regulation (EU) 2017/745) applies to medical devices placed on the EU/EEA market (and often UK dual strategy planning). It replaces MDD for devices and raises clinical, PMS, UDI, and economic-operator duties.

PROCESS / STEPS

  1. Classify the device under MDR Annex VIII (rules-based).
  2. Select conformity assessment route and engage a Notified Body when required (most IIa+).
  3. Build technical documentation (Annex II/III), GSPR checklist, clinical evaluation (CER), and risk file.
  4. Implement QMS (typically ISO 13485) and PMS/PMCF plans proportionate to class.
  5. Register actors and devices in EUDAMED modules as they become mandatory; maintain UDI and certificates.

EXAMPLES

  • A Class I sterile device needs NB involvement for sterile aspects even if base Class I is self-declared.
  • Implantable Class III devices need deep clinical evidence and SSCP publication expectations.

COMMON MISTAKES

  • Assuming MDD certificates last indefinitely—transition windows are class-dependent.
  • Treating PMCF as optional paperwork rather than a live surveillance system.
