Context
The enforcement of MDR 2017-745 raises a number of difficult questions:
- Do we actually own the content of our technical documentation? Is our data analysed, synthesized and justified?
- Will our Quality Management System be compliant with all requirements of article 10, paragraph 9 of MDR before 2024/05/26?
- Will we have deposited the formal certification request for each device before 2024/05/26 to a designated Notified Body?
- Will we have a signed contrat with the Notified Body, covering each and every one of our devices before the 2024/09/26 ?
Right until a medical device is certified, it does not really exists in the eyes of the world. What exists can be read through technical files, test reports, purchase contracts, biocompatibility, reports of clinical investigation and all the documentation produced by all departments throughout the conception, development and manufacture of the device.
Experience shows that the alignment between the necessary information required to obtain the CE marking and their production is incomplete. Consequences of this misalignment range from delay to reach the market to the end of service for a manufacturer.
Turning the regulatory framework into an allay begins by training the departments into information alignment. Needs are clarified, processes are co-defined, team members are fluent with the necessary tools, change is accepted and teams are on board.
