MDR Classification Chaos and User Manuals

Dr. Oliver Eidel Regulatory News Updated October 01, 2024
Hey you,

we've published some new articles about regulatory stuff and the things we do. The first one is about the not-so-helpful new MDCG 2021-24 regarding classification of medical devices: Is an Apple Watch a medical device? Are radiology AI devices always class III? What can be deemed class I according to the new guideline? Check out the article.

There's also a new case study where we helped solve regulatory problems of a class 1 MDD device for less than 2k. So efficient! The app is called BabyCare and it’s a preventive care program for pregnant women based on more than 20 years of experience and research, pretty cool. It's even reimbursed by more than 70 health insurance providers. Read more about what we did and how it went.

And if you ever wondered whether you need to force your users to read the User Manual or if you could just let them be humans and not read it, we've got you covered here.

We hope you have a great Advent season and don't get too annoyed by regulations. See you next year. Until then, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Btw: We're out of office in the first week of January.

Best Christmas wishes,
OpenRegulatory

I’m a medical doctor, software engineer and regulatory dude. I’m also the founder of OpenRegulatory.

Through OpenRegulatory, I’ve helped 100+ companies with their medical device compliance. While it’s also my job that we stay profitable, I try to dedicate a lot of my time towards writing free content like our articles and templates. Maybe that will make consulting unnecessary some day? :)

If you’re still lost and have further questions, reach out any time!
