7 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope

8 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope: Regulation on medical devices Definition ‘medical device’ means any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, implant, reagent, material or other article, intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings for one or more of the specific medical purposes of: - diagnosis, prevention, prediction, prognosis, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease, - diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of or compensation for an injury or disability, - investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological or pathological process or state, - providing information by means of in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body, including organ, blood and tissue donations, and which does not achieve its principal intended action by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means, in or on the human body, but which may be assisted in its function by such means. Products specifically intended for the cleaning, disinfection or sterilisation of medical devices and devices for the purpose of control or support of conception shall be considered medical devices.

9 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope: Regulation on medical devices Extension of the scope to:  Certain implantable and other invasive products regardless of a medical or non-medical (e.g. aesthetic) purpose (see Annex XV)  Medical devices manufactured utilising derivatives of non- viable human tissues or cells  Reprocessed single-use medical devices

10 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope: Regulation on medical devices Clarification of the scope regarding:  Internet sales  Medical devices used for diagnostic or therapeutic services offered at a distance  Excluded: food and products containing or consisting of viable biological substances (e.g. living micro-organisms)

11 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope: Regulation on IVDs Definition ‘in vitro diagnostic medical device’ means any medical device which is a reagent, reagent product, calibrator, control material, kit, instrument, apparatus, equipment, software or system, whether used alone or in combination, intended by the manufacturer to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue donations, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information: – concerning a physiological or pathological state; – concerning congenital physical or mental impairments; – concerning the predisposition to a medical condition or a disease; – to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients; – to predict treatment response or reactions; – to define or monitor therapeutic measures. Specimen receptacles are considered to be in vitro diagnostic medical devices. For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘specimen receptacle’ means devices, whether vacuum-type or not, specifically intended by their manufacturers for the primary containment and preservation of specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of in vitro diagnostic examination.

12 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope: Regulation on IVDs Clarification of the scope regarding:  Internet sales  IVDs used for diagnostic or therapeutic services offered at a distance

13 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Scope: MD and IVD Regulations Regulatory status of products  Possibility or (under certain conditions) obligation for the Commission to adopt decisions determining whether a specific product falls in the scope of the Regulation: on its own initiative or upon a duly substantiated request by a Member State  Involvement of relevant stakeholders and consultation of EMA, ECHA and EFSA, as relevant

14 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Horizontal aspects

15 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers 'In house' exemption  Exemption of devices manufactured and used in the same health institution from the Regulation but subject to the general safety and performance requirements in Annex I  Conditions: No transfer to another legal entity Appropriate quality management system The health institution draws up and maintains a documentation for the manufacture of the device It justifies in its documentation that the patient's needs cannot be met by a marketed device

16 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Claims  Prohibition to give the user or patient any indication that may mislead them as regards the device's intended purpose, safety and performance by: Ascribing functions and properties the product does not have Creating a false impression regarding treatment or diagnosis, functions or properties the product does not have Failing to inform of a risk associated with the use of the product accoding to its intended purpose Suggesting uses of the product other than those indicated in the intended purpose

17 Health and Consumers Health and Consumers Role of economic operators  Clear set of obligations and responsibilities Manufacturers  Quality management system  Post-market surveillance system  Technical documentation  Qualified person  Financial coverage in case of liability for defective products Authorised representatives  Written mandate  Minimum tasks  Qualified person  Liability for defective products
