EU MDD to MDR Gap Analysis for Medical Device CE Marking

The EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (EU MDR) replaces the Medical Devices Directives (MDD and AIMDD) and raises the compliance bar for manufacturers. If you’ve extended your MDD CE certificate, this is the time to get out in front of the crush of other medical device manufacturers that will be competing for Notified Body attention just before the deadlines.

Let Our Team Answer These Key Questions for You…

  • When do we need to be MDR compliant?
  • Can we make changes to our device in the meantime?
  • How close are we to being MDR compliant now?
  • What major differences exist between the MDD and MDR?

Have You Assessed Your Readiness to Transition from MDD to MDR?

With an interconnected quagmire of regulations and guidance documents, even seasoned regulatory professionals struggle to interpret the EU MDR. We know, because we have trained and advised hundreds of medical device companies making the transition from MDD to MDR.

A critical first step is to understand your current level of compliance with the MDR. Our MDR readiness audit – which can be targeted or comprehensive – provides the clarity you need. We will assess all aspects of your current quality management system, existing technical documentation, and regulatory compliance efforts. We will document the tasks, resources, and timelines needed to address identified gaps.

We Evaluate the Following as Part of Our EU MDD-to-MDR Gap Assessment:

  • Current level of compliance with MDR General Safety and Performance Requirements
  • Classification of current medical device(s) under the MDR
  • Robustness of your CE technical documentation files, including links to risk management, postmarket, design, and other processes
  • Depth of clinical evaluation reports (CER) and literature reviews
  • Risk management files and compliance with EN ISO 14971:2019+A11:2021
  • Status of existing testing to current standards
  • Postmarket surveillance (PMS), including trending and adverse event reporting
  • Economic operator (importers, authorized representative) agreements
  • Procedures for managing your supply and distribution chain
  • Product life-cycle management
  • Labeling changes and Unique Device Identification (UDI) compliance
  • Overlap of MDR requirements with ISO 13485
  • AR change support (if needed)
  • Support before and during Notified Body audits
