MDCG Documents

A number of Medical Device Coordinating Group (MDCG) documents have been published now. The frequency of publication increased, and it is important for medical device manufacturers to take these into consideration (MDCG guidance).  

 The MDCG has been established with the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) (MDR art. 103) “1. A Medical Device Coordination Group (“MDCG”) is hereby established.” The article goes on with determining who shall participate (member state representatives) and how it is being governed (Chaired by the commission with no voting right). The MDCG has been given specific tasks (MDR art. 105), among others, to provide guidance on the harmonized implementation of the regulation.

 It is highly recommended to install in your quality system a process to monitor these guidance documents. The procedure(s) should include a regular check of the website. In case of new documents, it would involve an evaluation whether they are applicable for the company, and if so, to apply them when the specific MDR requirements are implemented. They should become part of the MDR implementation plan.

 The guidance has now been issued on various topics, and it needs to be noted that also other documents have been endorsed by the MDCG:
