The CE mark is an indication to show conformity to all obligations for medical devices, as required by the Medical Devices Regulations.
However, for entering certain non-EU markets a FSC / CFS must be provided by the manufacturer. It demonstrates, from the government point of view, that you place your products legally, with the CE mark, on the European market.
The European FSC / CFS, is issued by the Competent Authority of the EU member state where the “manufacturer” or his EC REP has his registered place of business. If the manufacturer is not situated in Europe only theEC REP is able to obtain the FSC /CFS on behalf of the manufacturer.
The Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN) is a widely used nomenclature for generic identification of medical devices.
For example the Italian National Registration and Spanish National Registration databases require GMDN codes and the codes can be utilized for the European medical device databank EUDAMED.
The GMDN system is maintained by the GMDN Agency. Manufacturers and other interested parties can become members of the agency and get access to the GMDN terms.
However, for this service the GMDN Agency charges an annual membership fee (for details see the GMDN Agency website). Also, the research of an applicable code for your product might prove a time-consuming task if you are left alone with it.
MDSS can help you with selecting the appropriate GMDN code, without you needing to become a member of the GMDN Agency. We also offer to assist you with applying for a new GMDN code, if no suitable code does exist yet.
Have MDSS assist you with the choice of an adequate
GMDN code.
MDSS will also be able to help you with the implemented or upcoming medical device registration requirements in other EEA countries.
