Medical Device Approval in Europe

EU MDR consulting and CE marking support for medical device and SaMD manufacturers. We guide you from device classification and technical documentation through Notified Body assessment to a CE mark that holds up in audit.

What the European market requires

The building blocks of EU MDR compliance and CE marking, in the order they usually matter.

Regulation

EU MDR 2017/745

The Medical Device Regulation sets the legal frame for every device on the EU market, including general safety and performance requirements.

Regulation

EU IVDR 2017/746

In vitro diagnostics follow their own regulation with a stricter risk classification and far more devices needing a Notified Body.

Scope

Device Classification

Class I, IIa, IIb or III under Annex VIII. Your class decides your conformity assessment route, your evidence and your cost.

Conformity

Notified Body Assessment

For all classes above Class I a Notified Body reviews your QMS and technical documentation before you may affix the CE mark.

Quality

ISO 13485 Quality Management

A certified quality management system is the practical basis for MDR conformity and for your Notified Body audit.

Evidence

Technical Documentation

Annex II and III documentation covering design, risk management to ISO 14971, verification, validation and post market planning.

Evidence

Clinical Evaluation and PMCF

A clinical evaluation report backed by data, plus a post market clinical follow up plan that keeps the evidence current.

Representation

EU Authorised Representative

Manufacturers outside the EU need an Authorised Representative. Elevate MedTech acts as yours, with PRRC in place.

Lifecycle

UDI, EUDAMED and Vigilance

Unique Device Identification, EUDAMED registration, post market surveillance and incident reporting keep your CE mark valid.
