FAQ

What is the Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

The Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) replaces the current EU Directives on Medical Devices (93/42 / EEC) and Active Implantable Medical Devices (90/385 / EEC).

When does the MDR come into force?

The MDR came into force on May 25th 2017.

When do manufacturers of medical devices have to apply the new MDR

The transition periods are described in Article 120 of the MDR. Accordingly, the date of application of the MDR is May 26th 2020. At the latest and after that, manufacturers must submit an MDR certificate when they first place a product on the market. For all new devices and all previous class I devices, the MDR is mandatory from this date on.

Will not expired CE markings continue to be valid after the introduction of the Medical Device Regulation?

Yes. All CE certificates will continue to be valid until expired or up to five years after application. However, they lose their validity by May 27th 2024 at the latest.

This means that there is a transition period for medical devices of Class II, which have been certified under the Medical Device Directive, maximally until May 26th 2024. Note: The transitional period always depends on the duration of the manufacturer‘s CE certificate.

Also important is the so-called „sales regulation“ of compliant devices according to MDR article 120 paragraph 4: The last day for the provision of medical devices is therefore May 27th 2025.

Under what conditions may MDD-certified devices (class II medical devices) continue to be placed on the market after the date of application of the MDR?

If the devices still meet the requirements of the MDD

There must be no significant changes in the design and purpose of the products

However, the requirements of MDR for post-market surveillance, market surveillance, vigilance, registration of economic operators and of devices are valid instead of the corresponding requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC

What are the most important MDR changes for medical device manufacturers?

Some of the most important changes are:

Higher classification of medical devices by risk, duration of contact and invasiveness. MDR encourages medical device manufacturers to review the new classification rules and to update their technical documentation accordingly

Substantially expanded general safety and performance requirements (previously general requirements)

Additional documentation requirements such as Post Market Surveillance Plan / Report (PMS), Post Market Clinical Follow Up (PMCF), Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR)

Medical device manufacturers must designate a qualified person in the company who must have qualified medical device expertise

Introduction of UDI labeling to improve the traceability of medical devices

New regulation of market surveillance with shorter reporting deadlines

Grandfathering is not intended: All currently certified medical devices must be re-certified to meet the new requirements

What are the most important MDR changes for distributors?

General obligations of distributors are described in Article 14 of the MDR. Using a sampling method which is representative of the devices supplied, the distributor should check whether the device has been CE marked and that the EU declaration of conformity of the device has been drawn up. Furthermore, the distributor should check that the device is accompanied by the information to be supplied by the manufacturer and, where applicable, an UDI has been assigned. In addition, Article 14 describes further obligations for handling non-compliant devices, reporting obligations to manufacturers and authorities, and documentation requirements for complaint management.

What changes do occur in reference to notified bodies?

All notified bodies must be re-accredited by the local authorities under the new MDR for their tasks. It is expected that a significant number of notified bodies may not be renamed again or to the same scope, which might force some medical device manufacturers to change their notified bodies.

What does the new regulation mean for private labels?

The previous PLM / OEM constellations are no longer accepted by the Notified Bodies. Following legally compliant concepts arise for the future cooperation:

DETAX Standard products:
The manufacturer provides you with its original product. Then, you are the distributor of our standard product.

Co-branding („Made by“ variant):
You act as a distributor, importer or re-packer of products and distribute the products with your design. The name of the manufacturer of the products can also be seen on the label.

New OEM / PLM procedure:
As before, you act as manufacturer meaning you are responsible for the complete registration process of the products. In this variant, the name of the manufacturer is not on the label. NEW: The prerequisite for this practice is the complete disclosure of the technical documentation by the manufacturer (unlikely in practice).

Regardless of the concept presented above, there is a Quality Assurance Agreement (QAA) between you and the manufacturer is needed for further cooperation, which regulates e.g. the duties of the distributor and the traceability of the products.

March 2019

Knowledge to the customer: for more transparency in the “jungle” of different risk classes for medical products, we created a corporate logo to distinguish DETAX medical devices of class I, IIa and IIb.  You will easily find these recognizable emblems “I am a Medical Device” in our product catalogues.
