For example, new MDR requirements include a wide range of items and devices with no defined medical function, such as lotion or gel dispensers, colored contact lenses, and throat lozenges. In addition, the regulation\u2019s legal text includes 22 rules for determining an in-scope product\u2019s classification, which informs reporting requirements.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gap Analysis:<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After product scoping, organizations should determine the necessary data to verify compliance. Depending on the scoping and classification efforts, certain goods may simply require little data and self-certification, while others will necessitate substantially more work.

To gather this information, extensive supplier interaction is required to collect declarations on the substances, parts, and materials covered by the rule.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Validate Data:<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After data is acquired, it must be confirmed and verified. Regardless of the data necessary for a product, all products must have proof of an approved quality management system and a technical file. Using a cloud-based platform solution, such as the Assent Compliance Platform, allows businesses to efficiently collect and manage this data.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare technical files for Notified Body Approval. The data acquired through an EU MDR compliance program must be collated into an exact technical file for each product covered by the law. These technical data are subsequently forwarded to designated bodies, who certify the product.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical device makers have been scrambling to fulfill the new MDR\u2019s May 26, 2020 implementation deadline. The European Commission is developing a strategy to ask the European Parliament and Council in early April 2020 to postpone the implementation of the present Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) by one year due to the coronavirus pandemic. This measure aims to minimize the pressure on healthcare systems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A one-year delay in the implementation of MDR will represent a substantial shift in EU strategy. This will relieve the strain on notified body authorities and the medical device sector, allowing them to focus entirely on pressing objectives relating to the coronavirus outbreak. Despite the likely delay in<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> MDR and IVDR<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> deployments, most medical device manufacturers still have a lot of work to do to be prepared when the shift occurs.
