CE mark medical device – FAQ’s

You find the CE mark on toys, electronics, protective clothing, and many other products sold in Europe. CE marking was introduced to support the EU’s goal of removing trade barriers within the EU. Originally, products with possible safety, health or environmental issues had to be approved by each country. Now, national legislation is harmonized into Europe-wide directives or regulations; if manufacturers guarantee both the product and testing is conform these directives, they have access to all EU countries at once. Manufacturers must put the CE mark on their products to signal they conform to the applicable European directives.

Assure compliance to MDR / FDA

You probably know that regulatory affairs is an important piece of your medical devices puzzle. Which rules apply for your project in order to get approval from FDA and MDR? You want to be fully covered and know about existing and upcoming changes in regulations. Be smart and do not go reinventing the wheel. Instead make use of our proved ISO 13485 certified Quality Management System. This system is specially built to assure compliance from approval throughout the complete lifecycle of your product. We designed our QMS to ensure a fluent transfer and be linked to you own processes easily.

Monitor patient safety

Ensuring Clinical Safety and Performance is paramount when developing and marketing a medical device, especially for the European market. We concentrate all our activities around one question: Does the expected benefit of your device, when following the intended use, outweigh the inherent risks? Our Clinical Specialists know how to answer this question in the most efficient way. They navigate this delicate process, define the optimal route for collection of Clinical Data to get market approval and to access clinical safety and performance throughout the complete lifecycle of your product.

Bear legal responsibility

To bring your innovation to the market include various legal liability issues, associated with being a (legal) ‘manufacturer’ as is directed by the MDR and FDA regulations. This has nothing to do with intellectual property, branding or ownership; it is the formal legal responsibility, that is directly linked with the entity that develops, manufactures and delivers a medical device for use to the market. At BAAT we know what it means to bear this responsibility because we are able to formally act as legal manufacturer on behalf of our customers. We can help you to identify and solve liability issues throughout the manufacturing chain, put the right insurance coverage in place and make sure that all quality agreements are properly connected.

Notified body & CE mark

Did you know that as a manufacturer, you must officially declare that your product conforms to the CE mark medical device requirements? This declaration requires technical documentation, to support your ‘case’ in that your development process, and resulting medical products, are manufactured and tested conform all regulations.

Medical devices are divided into different risk classes. For the lowest risk class manufacturers may self-certify. Meaning they themselves can draw the conclusion that the technical documentation proves conformity with the regulations and put a CE mark on it.

Example of a medical device CE mark medical device, using notified body CE mark ‘CE 0344’

For medium or high-risk medical devices, conformity with the regulations cannot be done by the manufacturer; a Notified Body must assess conformity before it can be placed on the market. What is a notified body in CE marking? These are organisations designated by member states of the EU who can assess conformity with specific regulations.

Medical products can only be assessed by organisations with a notified body certification specifically for assessing medical devices. The number of the Notified Body involved in the assessment must be shown; an implant assessed by the Notified Body MedCert will show ‘CE 0482’ and shown here is an example of Dekra ‘CE 0344’ as Notified Body.

More Engineering challenges and asking the right questions

Asking the right questions is the first step to a successful project. Having impact on the end user means impact in the market. Some examples:

  • How do you know what product will be successful in the future?
  • What regulatory pathway should be taken?
  • How can we ensure the medical device is fully monitored and traceable from raw material to clinical use?
  • How is the clinical performance tracked and market access ensured?

One of the steps many customers do is answering above questions using an Innovation Scan. We call it ‘Innoscan’. Get in contact with Baat to see what can lead to a commercially viable product development and real impact in the medical device business.
