The AIB 2025-1 MDCG 2025-6 guidance document represents a major milestone for medical device manufacturers across the European Union. It clarifies the interplay between the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR), and the newly adopted Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA, offering comprehensive direction for compliance in this emerging landscape.
Under the European Union's medical device regulations, MDR (EU 2017/745) and IVDR (EU 2017/746), it has become mandatory for all devices to be included in a common classification system. This classification system is defined as the European Medical Device Nomenclature (EMDN) and plays a critical role in the placing of devices on the market, traceability and technical file content.
Post-market surveillance (PMS) has undergone significant transformation under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in Europe. It marks a new era in the monitoring and reporting of medical device safety and performance. This set of requirements emphasizes the proactive collection and analysis of medical device-related data after a product is placed on the market, allowing manufacturers to reassess the safety and effectiveness of their medical devices continuously.
