EU MDR 2017/745 European Union

EU MDR 2017/745 conformity and technical documentation

What does EU MDR require beyond what I already have?

What this route requires

Regulation (EU) 2017/745 governs medical devices in the European Union. Conformity rests on classification, the General Safety and Performance Requirements, risk management, clinical evaluation and a conformity assessment route that for most classes involves a notified body.

MDR raised the clinical evidence expectation compared with the directives it replaced, and it made post-market obligations continuous rather than one-off. Technical documentation is a living set of documents, not a submission you file once.

Applies to

Devices placed on the EU market, including those transitioning from the previous directives.

Our scope

How Prequel supports it

  • MDR gap assessment against your current documentation
  • Classification and conformity assessment route determination
  • GSPR mapping and risk management linkage
  • Clinical evaluation planning and CER coordination
  • Technical documentation index, and PMS/PMCF planning

Delivered by Prequel. Where a step needs a specialist partner — laboratory testing in particular — we define the scope and review the output, and we say so rather than implying it is in-house.

Other routes

Many programmes target more than one market. Evidence generated for one route can often support another, which is worth planning before testing starts rather than after.

Not sure EU MDR 2017/745 is your route?

That is what the Readiness Assessment settles. Tell us the product, its intended use and your target market, and we will confirm the pathway before you commit to evidence.
