Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

Medical devices manufactured or traded in the EU must comply with EU legislation in the area of safety and health. This means they have to be conform to the pertaining product directives and must be CE marked.

New European legislation, the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), has taken effect per May 2021. The EU adopted the MDR following scandals caused by a number of medical device manufacturers.
