Medical devices
Medical devices should always work very effectively to ensure the best diagnostics and therapeutical benefits for the patient. At the same time, patients, clinical personnel and third parties need to be protected from potential risks when using them.
Before introducing new medical devices to the market, manufacturers are required to perfom conformity assessments in accordance with the risk class of their product. Every new product must meet "basic safety and performance requirements" according to the Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).
