This questionnaire has been designed to assist you in determining the risk classification of your medical device in accordance with the
EU regulation 2017/745 on medical devices (EU MDR) and its
guidance document regarding classification.
Briefly, the EU MDR includes 22 classification rules, falling into four basic categories:
- Non-invasive devices
- Invasive devices
- Active medical devices (including softwares)
- Special rules (including contraceptive, disinfectant, and radiological medical devices).
This questionnaire helps you understand the classification of your medical device, according to its features. Your answers determine the next question, aiming to assess the correct classification:
- Class I (low risk)
- Class IIa (medium risk)
- Class IIb (medium/high risk)
- Class III (high risk)
At the end of the questionnaire (~3 min) you will get the risk classification of your device, as well as a brochure summarizing what you need to know in order to bring your idea to the market. It serves as a helpful tool to navigate the intricate classification criteria. However, for definitive classification, it is advisable to seek guidance from regulatory experts. At CoLAB TRIALS, we support your needs on regulatory approval (regulatory roadmap, device qualification and classification, support with technical documentation and risk management) and clinical validation (clinical investigation/evaluation, support clinical evaluation planning and reporting, GSPR compliance).
Disclaimer: not applicable to in vitro diagnostics devices (IVDs), which are regulated under the EU Regulation 2017/746.
