Extension of the MDR for legacy devices!

On February 16, 2023, the European Parliament adopted the extension of the transition period for the EU MDR and to extend the validity of certain device certificates (here is  MDSS' outline on the proposal extension and on Article 97). See how Switzerland and the UK reacted in their official pages.

*The adopted proposal still has to go through the legislative procedure to be adopted as law!

Join our Online Seminar where we will discuss the extension and the impact of Article 97 and address how Switzerland and the UK are acting!

It's time for EUDAMED!

National Authorities improve their vigilance systems, but that is far from harmonization.

It makes the system even more complicated if every authority creates their own reporting system. Such changes don’t make it easier to keep EU and non-EU manufacturers selling their devices in Europe. 

See the new e-service for vigilance submissions for Sweden. This website should be used for submissions until EUDAMED is mandatory for vigilance. No registration is required.

Key Terms and Concepts in the Medical Device Regulation - Vigilance

The vigilance requirements under the EU's medical device regulations can be complex and confusing. To help you navigate this landscape, the Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) has released a guide to key terms and concepts in Chapter VII of the Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices (MDR).

This guide is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the medical device industry, including competent authorities and economic operators. It establishes a common understanding of important definitions and concepts necessary for effective implementation of vigilance requirements.

The guide includes definitions from the Guidelines on a Medical Devices Vigilance System, modified where necessary for alignment with the MDR. It covers medical devices, accessories for medical devices, and products listed in Annex XVI to the MDR.

While the guide is non-exhaustive, it should be read in conjunction with the MDR, relevant standards, and other MDCG guidance documents. Note that terms and concepts outlined in the Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR) are outside the scope of this guide.

In conclusion, our guide to key terms and concepts in the MDR is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the vigilance requirements under the EU's medical device regulations. Access this valuable resource to gain a clear understanding of these requirements and ensure effective implementation.
