What are Medical Devices?
Medical Devices are any Device intended to be used for Medical Purposes. Significant potential for Hazards is inherent when using a Device for Medical Purposes therefore Medical Devices must be proved Safe and Effective with reasonable assurance before Regulating Governments allow Marketing of the Device in their Geographical Region.
Compliance is critical in the Medical Device arena to ensure Safety of consumers. As a rule, as the associated risk of the Device increases the amount of testing required to establish Safety and Efficacy also increases. Furthermore, as Associated Risk increases the Potential Benefit to the patient must also increase.
Law in the European Union and Great Britain
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 is a Regulation of the European Union on the Clinical Investigation and Sale of Medical Devices for Human use. The In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/746) introduces a new classification system for Companion Diagnostics and the obligation to undergo a Conformity Assessment by a Notified Body. In Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), Devices must conform to the UK MDR 2002, the EU MDR (until 30 June 2023), or the EU IVDR (until 30 June 2023) in order to be Registered and Marketed. These Regulations are enforced by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (HMRA) in the UK and the European Medicines Agency) EMA in the European Union.
Law in the USA and Canada
In the United States of America, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulates permanent and single-use Medical Devices through the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). Devices are classified into Class I, II, and III with Regulatory control increasing from Class I to Class III.
