The medical devices market in the EU contributes to one-third of the global market, at around \u20ac110 billion. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased demand for medical devices, the European Parliament agreed to the EU Commission\u2019s proposal to postpone the application of the MDR by one year. It is essential that the majority of medical producers around the world are compliant with the EU MDR\/IVDR.

Additional steps include the development of quality and risk management systems, as well as conducting a benefit-risk analysis and clinical evaluations. Manufacturers are also required to supply label information, including instructions of use. The MDR\/IVDR obligates the manufacturer or authorized representative in the EU to generate the technical documentation and sign the declaration of conformity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All technical documentation must be kept for 10 to 15 years depending on the device type.
