For EU CE certification of Class I medical devices, the technical documentation must be comprehensive and align with the requirements set forth by the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 or the In Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746. Here’s a detailed list of the required technical documents:
1. Device Description and Specification
- Device Details: Include the device name, model, and version.
- Intended Use: Describe the intended purpose and clinical indications.
- Device Design and Function: Provide detailed descriptions, including how the device works and its key features.
2. Design and Manufacturing Information
- Design Documentation: Include design drawings, specifications, and descriptions of design features.
- Manufacturing Process: Detail the manufacturing processes, materials used, and controls in place to ensure quality.
- Quality Control Procedures: Document quality control measures and testing procedures.
3. Risk Management
- Risk Assessment: Conduct a risk assessment according to ISO 14971 to identify and evaluate potential risks associated with the device.
- Risk Control Measures: Describe measures implemented to control identified risks.
4. Clinical Evaluation
- Clinical Evidence: Provide evidence demonstrating the device’s safety and performance. This may include:
- Clinical Data: Data from clinical studies, if applicable.
- Literature Review: Reviews of scientific literature relevant to the device’s intended use and performance.
- Equivalent Devices: Information on similar devices, if applicable.
5. Instructions for Use (IFU) and Labeling
- User Manuals: Develop clear and comprehensive instructions for use, including device operation, maintenance, and disposal.
- Labeling: Ensure labels include necessary information such as:
- CE mark.
- Manufacturer’s details (name and address).
- Device name and model.
- Warnings and precautions.
6. Declaration of Conformity
- Document Content: Prepare the Declaration of Conformity, which should include:
- Device details.
- Manufacturer’s details.
- Compliance with applicable EU regulations and harmonized standards.
- Date and signature of the authorized person.
7. Quality Management System (QMS) Documentation (if applicable)
- ISO 13485: Although not always mandatory for Class I devices, documentation related to the Quality Management System may be necessary, especially if you are establishing or maintaining one.
8. Post-Market Surveillance
- Post-Market Plan: Outline a plan for post-market surveillance to monitor device performance and manage any potential issues.
- Complaint Handling: Document procedures for handling and investigating complaints and adverse events.
9. Risk Management File
- Documentation: Maintain a risk management file that includes risk analysis, evaluation, and mitigation strategies.
10. Clinical Evaluation Report
- Report Content: If applicable, prepare a clinical evaluation report summarizing the data and evidence supporting the device’s safety and performance.
11. Technical File
- File Structure: Organize all documentation into a technical file that can be reviewed by regulatory authorities if necessary. This file should be updated regularly and kept available for a specified period after the device is placed on the market.
