EU MDR Consulting

In 2017, the EU introduced the Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 (MDR). The regulation expanded scope of medical device oversight, enforced more rigorous requirements for clinical evidence and evaluation, and established a life cycle approach to device safety and monitoring. These requirements mean more time, money, and diligence for manufacturers, notified bodies (NBs), distributors, and Competent Authorities. The MDR came into force in 2021, but some legacy devices with certification under the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) and Active Implantable Devices Directive (AIMDD) are still transitioning to MDR CE Marking. The highest risk legacy devices must secure MDR CE Marking certificates as early as 2026 with low-risk devices transitioning in 2028.  

Whether you have a legacy device transitioning under the MDR or you seek EU CE Marking for the first time, Pure Global’s MDR consultants can help you create an MDR compliance strategy from device development to post-market surveillance. We operate more than 15 offices across five continents, where we offer local support in the industry’s largest markets. Our team of experienced medical device regulatory, clinical, and quality experts leverage AI-driven tools and regulatory data analytics to streamline the compliance process.

EU MDR Information

EU MDR Classification 

Conformity assessment requirements under the MDR are determined by device classification. Whether your conformity assessment route requires notified body involvement, the scope of your clinical evidence and evaluation, and more will be driven by the risk profile of your device. The MDR brought devices and products that were not regulated under the MDD into its scope. Some devices were reclassified under the MDR, so it’s important to perform a classification assessment, even if you previously obtained CE Marking under the MDD. We can help you determine your device’s risk classification under the MDR so you can determine a conformity assessment strategy. 

EU CE Marking for Medical Devices 

Devices that are new to the EU market are expected to obtain CE Marking under the MDR. However, some legacy devices with current CE certificates are still operating under the transitional provisions. Pure Global’s MDR experts can prepare you for your MDR notified body audit, even if it’s your first time pursuing CE Marking. With extensive experience drafting EU Technical Documentation, as well as deep familiarity with clinical evaluation and clinical evidence requirements, risk management, and quality management system implementation, we can assess your MDR readiness and facilitate the CE Marking process. 

EU MDR CER Clinical Evaluation Report 

Clinical evaluation is a systematic, continuous process of collecting and analyzing clinical data about your medical device to ensure the ongoing safety and performance of the device according to its intended purpose. The Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) is part of your Technical Documentation in which the data, outcomes, and conclusions from your clinical evaluation are documented. The CER is a living document that should be updated throughout the product life cycle and critical component of pre-market conformity and ongoing compliance in the EU. With a team of clinical experts and evaluators, Pure Global can help you plan your clinical evaluation process, document your outcomes, and train your team to maintain your CER. 

EU PMCF Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up for medical devices

Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) is a new requirement introduced under the MDR. PMCF is an ongoing process to collect and evaluate clinical, performance, and scientific data from the use of your device on the market. PMCF data supports your Clinical Evaluation (CE), risk management, and Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) activities. We can help you design a PMCF plan and execute PMCF activities, including PMCF studies, throughout the device life cycle.  

EU EUDAMED Medical Device & IVD Registration 

Manufacturers of medical devices and IVDs looking to sell in the European Union must register their products and company details in EUDAMED. This registration process involves maintaining comprehensive device records and adhering to Unique Device Identifier (UDI) requirements. Our team assists in obtaining UDI codes and integrating EUDAMED registration procedures into your workflow, ensuring compliance when registration becomes a mandatory requirement. 

EU MDR and IVDR Post-Market Surveillance (PMS)

The EU MDR and IVDR have introduced enhanced Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) obligations for medical device and IVD manufacturers. Our regulatory experts help businesses establish and maintain robust PMS programs tailored to their specific products. We offer comprehensive support in crafting compliant strategies, preparing detailed PMS reports, and ensuring adherence to EU regulatory expectations for ongoing market compliance. 

EU Authorized Representative for Medical Device & IVD Companies

Non-EU manufacturers of medical devices and IVDs must appoint a European Authorized Representative (EU AR) to legally sell their products in Europe. An EU AR plays a critical role in managing regulatory documentation, handling incident reporting, and ensuring compliance with post-market requirements. With a network of regulatory professionals across Europe, we provide reliable EU AR services, acting as both a regulatory liaison and a strategic commercial partner. 

CE Mark Notified Body Search and Selection

Selecting the right notified body is crucial for securing CE Mark certification, but the process can be complex due to limited availability and varying expertise among different notified bodies. Delays or missteps in this selection can lead to increased costs and potential market access setbacks. Our experts streamline the notified body selection process, guiding you in identifying, assessing, and engaging with the most suitable organization to facilitate a smooth certification and approval. 

EU MDR & IVDs PRRC Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance

The EU MDR and IVDR mandate that medical device and IVD manufacturers appoint a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC). This role oversees adherence to regulatory standards, quality management, and post-market surveillance. The designated PRRC must meet strict qualification criteria, including a relevant degree with one year of regulatory experience or a minimum of four years in regulatory affairs or quality management. We provide expert guidance to help you fulfill PRRC requirements and ensure continuous regulatory compliance.

Frequently
Asked Questions

How do I choose an MDR consultant for my company?

Start by looking for a consultant with a proven track record of successful MDR submissions, especially in your device’s classification and category, though experience with a broad range of device types shows versatility and familiarity with the range of evidence and documentation requirements for different products. Your consultant should be able to explain complex requirements clearly and keep your team aligned throughout the process. Ask about their project management approach, familiarity with digital tools (including AI-based regulatory platforms), and ability to support post-market obligations. 

If you're a non-EU manufacturer, prioritize consultants with a global footprint and local EU presence. This ensures they understand regional expectations and can respond quickly to requests from Notified Bodies or Competent Authorities.

Is it worth hiring a consultant if our device is already certified under the MDD?

Absolutely. The MDR introduces significantly stricter requirements that affect nearly every aspect of compliance. Even if your product was previously considered low risk, it may now require Notified Body involvement or additional performance data under MDR. A qualified consultant can perform a thorough gap analysis between your current MDD documentation and what’s required under the MDR. They’ll help you prioritize updates, prepare for your next audit, and avoid disruptions to your EU market access during the transition period. For legacy devices, this guidance is especially valuable to ensure continued CE Marking before MDD certificates expire.

What does a consultant offer that our internal team might miss?

A consultant has the advantage of working across many product types, risk classes, and regulatory pathways, giving them a broader view of how Notified Bodies interpret specific MDR requirements and where common pitfalls occur. Consultants are also up to date on the latest guidance documents, MDCG interpretations, and best practices from across the industry. They can pressure-test your current strategy, identify gaps you may not have considered, and provide templates, checklists, or structured processes to improve quality and consistency. Whether you're preparing for CE Marking or managing post-market activities, a consultant can optimize your timeline, reduce regulatory risk, and strengthen your internal team’s understanding of what success under MDR really looks like.

Can consulting reduce the cost of MDR compliance?

While hiring a consultant is an upfront investment, it often saves time and money in the long run by avoiding costly delays, failed audits, or rejected submissions. They also help you prioritize efforts so resources are spent efficiently.
