16
Legacy Technical Files
• It seems to be a common misunderstanding that the entry into force of the new regulations will not affect devices already on the market.
• The draft of the new Regulation DOES NOT include a “grandfather” clause for medical devices that are already placed on the market.
• Devices which are currently on the market and considered to be compliant and safe will be subject to a new conformity assessment, under the MDR.
• As there are new requirements within the MDR, particularly with respect to Clinical Data not all certificates will transition smoothly from the MDD to the MDR.
• Once MDD certificates expire, MDR certificates are required to continue marketing the devices.
• Where there are gaps in certification, manufacturers may need to take devices off the market until all additional MDR requirements can be met and MDR certificates issued.
17
Conformity Assessment to the MDR
EC MDR QA Certificate
• Upgrade QMS Conformity Assessment to MDR • Sample Technical Files (IIa & IIb) • Issue MDR QA Certificate • MDD QA Certificate may still be required to
support MDD Design Dossiers.
EC MDR Design Examination Certificate
• Submission of MDR Design Dossier (based on MDD DD) • New submission for devices upclassified to Class III • Include Renewal Data • DD Review against MDR requirements • Issue EC MDR Design Examination Certificate (post
MDR QA certificate)
18
Actions Required
• Manufacturers will need to carefully plan for the transitioning of their existing devices to new certificates.
• Manufacturers need to identify what additional clinical data will be required for their medical devices.
• For now and during the transitional period, data can be obtained through PMS and PMCF studies.
• Manufacturers need to start implementing PMS measures to generate the required additional data now.
• Work closely with your Notified Body to plan ahead and make the transition process as smooth as possible.
• Worst case scenario for both parties is gaps in certification resulting in devices having to be taken off the market until a new certificate can be obtained.
• Under the MDR Clinical Data will be via a Clinical Investigation.

Changing Notified Body
Landscape
32
Less Medical Device Notified Bodies • European Commission’s Joint Immediate Action Plan was launched in 2012 to restore confidence in the
existing MDD legislation post PIP.
• Actions included a reassessment of the qualifications and scope of activities of their Notified Bodies.
• Joint audits of Notified Bodies were conducted by audit teams from several Member States and the Commission.
• Various issues were identified during these assessments which led to de-designation, scope restrictions and some Notified Bodies stepping down or being acquired.
• As a result there has been a rapid decrease in the number of Notified Bodies actively providing Medical Device CE marking services over the last 3 years.
• As the MDR raises the bar further with respect to requirements for the accreditation and supervision of notified bodies, this downward trend is likely to continue.
33
Notified Body Challenges • Fewer Notified Bodies are available to assess new products and renew certificates needed by
companies to operate.
• Existing bodies are finding it difficult to find qualified personnel to help with the extra workload.
• Where recruitment is successful, the training process takes significant time and places pressure on existing resources.
• This impacts on capacity and ultimately leads to delays in the approval of new products, renewals and changes to existing products.
• The MDR introduces more complex conformity assessment procedures and more stringent clinical data requirements, which will mean even more work and longer review time-lines.
• UDI on certificates will mean that certificates will require repeated reissue (lots of things trigger UDI changes) impacting on NB resources.
• Designation to the MDR will probably be 12 – 18 month into the Transition Period meaning that the first MDR certificates to be issued will be towards the end of the Transition timeline, which will put pressure on our capacity to issue MDR certificates.
34
Solutions
• Act now
• Start Planning
• Hire competent people
• Train existing staff
• Start putting new systems in place to deal with the new requirements
• Lodge application for designation as soon as possible.
• Work closely with manufacturers to try and keep moving through the process and avoid bottlenecks if at all possible.
• Apply the new rules but be as pragmatic as we possibly can particularly with devices which have been compliant and safe for many years.
