In late September 2007, the long-anticipated revisions to the Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42/EEC) were published in Directive 2007/47/EC, which becomes mandatory in 2010. There are more definitions, software is a device, there is clarification on combination products, single-use devices, and reprocessing, administrative modifications, closer inspection of design documentation required by the Notified Body, outsourced design and manufacturing need to be more closely monitored, classification changes, IFUs must be revision controlled, records retained for five years, and emphasis on clinical data, including Class I devices.
This presentation will highlight the modifications to the directive, and what they mean for device companies, including:
- New requirements for medical devices
- Expectations for clinical data, including Class I
- New definition entries in Article 1 and Annex IX, Classification Criteria
- Added requirements to Essential Requirements Checklist, Annex I
- Clarification regarding Notified Body inspection of Design Documentation?
