Medical technologies provide value in different ways. They allow people to live longer and better lives. As of 2024, the global medical technology (MedTech) market is valued at approximately $587 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 8.3% over 5 years (late 2019 to 2023).
AI and Machine Learning - Accelerating personalized treatments.
Miniaturization - Devices are getting smaller, smarter, and often wearable.
Remote Patient Monitoring - Growth in telehealth and home-based care.
Regulatory Evolution - Stricter standards, driving safety.
Sustainability - Eco-friendly device manufacturing.

Classify the device under MDR: Class I (low risk), Class IIa, Class IIb, or Class III (highest risk).
Classification determines the regulatory pathway and involvement of a Notified Body.
Key: Classification depends on intended use, invasiveness, duration of contact with the body, and other factors.
Implement and maintain a Quality Management System (QMS), usually aligned with ISO 13485.
Required for all classes, especially when a Notified Body assessment is needed.
Non-EU manufacturers must designate an EU Authorized Representative (EAR) based in the EU.
The representative acts on your behalf regarding compliance obligations.
Provide clinical evidence supporting device safety and performance. Options:
Must demonstrate safety, performance, and compliance with General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR). Includes:
Higher-risk devices require:
Leads to receiving a CE Certificate (not needed for most Class I devices).
European Database on Medical Devices (EUDAMED) registration includes:
Some modules are still rolling out.
Maintain active Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) activities.
Conduct Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs) for certain device classes.
Report serious incidents and Field Safety Corrective Actions (FSCAs) to authorities.
Regulates products, services, or solutions that prevent, diagnose, monitor, treat, and care for people.
Regulates non-invasive tests used on biological samples (for example, blood, urine, or tissues) to determine the status of a person’s health.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament laying down harmonized rules on artificial intelligence and amending other relevant regulations.
In 1982, the US FDA that regulated medical devices and radiation-emitting products merged to form the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
Quality policy. Management with executive responsibility shall ensure that the quality policy is understood, implemented, and maintained at all levels of the organization.
The agreement on mutual recognition concerning conformity assessment certificates and markings, MHRA has with the EU, US, Canada, TGA & New Zealand.
