The following important vigilance documents have been published on the European website:

The new Manufacturer’s Incident Report (MIR) Form has been updated and a copy of the latest version (version 7.2) and detailed guidance/ help text that may assist in completing the form are available on the Commission website.


Based on the additional guidance on the MEDDEV 2.12/1 rev.8  section 4, the current version of the MIR Form included a number of new concepts:

  • The information is presented in a new structure.
  • Introduces international IMDRF coding/ terminology.
  • Introduces a definition of similar incidents and requires similar incidents trend data in a tabular format.
  • In preparation for the future EU MDR it also introduces (not mandatory yet):
    • the concept of SRN which will be utilized greatly in the future under the new regulations.
    • the use of UDI.


The updated version of the MIR Form V 7.2 will become mandatory from January 2020.

However, if you are a manufacturer and have already adapted your IT system to version 7.1, you may use this version until the end of March 2020.
