The Changing Directives in the EU Medical Device Market

Are You Prepared for the March 2010 Deadline?

The European Union(EU) has revised their Medical Device Directive, which regulates how products are approved for sale within any of the 27 EU member nations. With a rapidly approaching March 2010 deadline to comply with the revised Medical Device Directive, many medical device manufacturers are faced with an enormous amount of work to complete in a short period of time in order to obtain a CE mark for sale of their products.

At stake is maintaining or increasing share in the growing $86 billion market that accounts for a significant percentage of most U.S. medical device companies’ profits. With nearly 8,000 devices on the EU market, it is possible that a backlog of applications could bottleneck approvals, with serious implications for sales and profits.

Many products that used to rely on substantial equivalence will now require a clinical literature review. Clinical literature reviews constitute an effective alternative to time-consuming and costly clinical trials. In addition, post-market surveillance will now be required for CE mark approval. Companies need to analyze product data now to make certain that they have initiated the required procedures to prevent disruptions to their sales pipelines.

We invite you to attend a free webinar hosted by Nerac which will provide an overview of the changes to the Medical Device Directive and discuss what Notified Bodies are expecting when they receive a clinical literature review or post-market surveillance report.
