When the MDR applies

The MDR has fully applied since May 2021, with transition periods for existing devices running out.

Manufacturers and distributors of medical devices must show devices are, and remain, safe, even after being placed on the market.

  • Your organisation develops, manufactures or distributes medical devices

  • A certificate under the old directive is expiring

  • There is no structured process yet for post-market surveillance

What incidents noticed too late cost

Without a valid conformity assessment, a device may not be placed or remain on the European market.

Insufficient post-market surveillance increases the risk of incidents being noticed late, with consequences for patient safety and liability.

What the law asks of your device

The MDR requires a conformity assessment matched to the risk class, clinical evaluation, and ongoing monitoring after the device is placed on the market.

  • A conformity assessment, often through a notified body

  • Clinical evaluation and technical documentation

  • Registration in EUDAMED and Unique Device Identification (UDI)

  • A person responsible for regulatory compliance (PRRC) within the organisation

  • Post-market surveillance and vigilance
