Before you can sell medical devices in Europe, you must first obtain CE Marking certification, more commonly referred to as the CE Mark. The path to CE Marking approval involves compliance with the current Medical Devices Directive (MDD) or the new European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which takes effect on May 26, 2021. Whether you are introducing an entirely new device into the EU market or you need assistance transitioning an existing medical device with CE Marking certification, Oriel STAT A MATRIX can help.
Gap assessment examines your existing documentation to determine your readiness for CE Marking submission under the EU MDR
If you currently have FDA 510(k) clearance and want to pursue European CE Marking certification, we can examine your current technical documentation to determine what is needed before pursuing CE Marking certification for your device. Our comprehensive audit will look at your device history file, risk procedures, clinical data, testing reports, postmarket surveillance, labeling, and much more, providing you with a clear picture of what needs to be done. Oriel STAT A MATRIX can then help you fill the missing gaps in your existing documentation as needed to support CE Marking submission.
Transitioning existing medical devices with CE Marking under the MDD to the EU MDR
The new EU MDR imposes new requirements on manufacturers to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of their devices. A sizeable percentage of devices that currently have CE Marking certification under the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) do not have adequate supporting documentation to meet the requirements of the EU MDR. Oriel STAT A MATRIX consultants can examine your existing Technical File or Design Dossier and prepare a comprehensive report of shortfalls. Common areas we address for clients include clinical literature reviews, risk procedures, postmarket surveillance, Economic Operator agreements, and product life-cycle management.
