Affixing the CE marking is legally required in order to place medical devices on the EU market. By affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer declares that the medical device complies with all relevant safety and performance requirements. In order to provide a product with a CE marking within the scope of of the MDD/MDR, it must be classified as a medical device, classified according to a risk class.
The MDR applies to medical devices, accessories of medical devices and medical software.
Medical devices are broadly defined within the MDR as any instrument, apparatus or appliance, software, implant, reagent, material or other item intended by the manufacturer to be used for humans for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment or alleviation of illness, injuries or disabilities.
Accessories of medical devices refer to articles that despite not being medical devices in their own right, are specifically intended by the manufacturer to be used with a medical device.
We refer to software as medical device software (‘MDSW’) when it meets the definition of software (i.e. a set of instructions that processes input data and creates export data) and at the same time is intended for a medical application as stated in the definition of medical devices. Medical software can be used independently (SaMD: Software as a Medical Device) or drives and/or influences the use of a medical device.
