What is CE Marking
• is the medical device manufacturers claim that a product meets the essential
requirements of all relevant European Directives and is a legal requirement to place a
device on the market in the European Union
• the three medical devices Directives are:
• Medical Devices Directive – MDD
• Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive – AIMDD
• In Vitro Diagnostic Directive – IVDD
• Where does the CE mark apply?
• 28 Member States of the EU, plus:
• Iceland, Leichtenstein, Norway, Switzerland & Turkey
2
What is a Competent Authority?
• is the body within government of the Member states that transposes the requirements of
the Medical Device Directives into National Law
• is also responsible for designating one of more Notified Bodies to act as independent third
party assessors of the manufacturers compliance
• they undertake audits of Notified Bodies in order to verify compliance
• UK Competent Authority is the MHRA
3
What is the role of a Notified Body?
• To conduct conformity assessment under the relevant EU Directives
• The conformity assessment usually involves an audit of the manufacturers quality
system* and depending upon the particular classification of the device, a review of the
relevant technical documentation provided by the manufacturer in support of the safety
and performance claims for the device.
• Technical documentation is assessed against the essential requirements (Annex 1)
• Issues a CE certificate, based on all the criteria being met
• Professional Integrity, requisite competence in the field of medical devices (NBOG Codes)
• Manufacturers sign a declaration of conformity and affix the CE Mark.
• Manufacturers can choose a Notified Body, obviously ensuring they have the appropriate
competence and expertise
•*
quality system – typically ISO 13485
4
Product Classification
• Based on Risk
• 4 categories
• Eg MDD - Class I, Class IIa, Class Iib, Class III
o
NOTE: Class I is further divided in to two categories Sterile & Measuring
• Examples
• Class I – bandages, wheelchairs
• Class IIa – disposable contact lens, sutures, dental fillings
• Class Iib – complex would dressings for burns, baby incubators, dialysis equipment
• Class III – hip replacements, drug eluting stents, absorbable sutures
• AIMDD are all Class III
• IVDD have similar grouping

Presentation
 Drivers for change
 Commission proposals
 State of play in negotiations
 What do we do in the meantime?
8
Context
 Medical devices = essential for healthcare
 Medical devices sector = growth & competitiveness
European Union
One of the largest
Some of the
market
biggest companies
Ecosystem of
SMEs / microenterprises 9
EU regulatory framework
- drivers for change
 Three directives transposed into national legislation
based on common EU regulatory principles ("the New
approach")
 From 12 to 33 countries - divergences in application
and shortcomings in coordination
10
EU regulatory framework
- drivers for change (continued)
 Technical and healthcare developments
 Scientific and technological advances,
 More focus on prevention, early diagnosis, self-monitoring and
cost-effectiveness,
 Evolving knowledge and expectations
 Globalisation
 Public expectations following the PIP breast implants
scandal
11
Revision of the legislation (continued)




Obligations of economic operators
Vigilance and market surveillance
Eudamed
Traceability of medical devices
 High priority for European Commission
Proposed transition periods:
 Three years (MD)
 Five years (IVD)
12
Revision of the legislation (continued)
European Commission
Proposes legislation
(Proposals : 26/9/2012)
European Parliament
Proposes amendments
(1st reading vote : 2/4/2014)
Council of the EU
Proposes amendments
(Process ongoing)
Negotiation
13
Example of issue debated:
Notified bodies
 Parliament and Council: good proposals to strengthen the
designation, monitoring and functioning of notified bodies.
 Parliament: separate designation of "Special Notified Bodies"
competent for high-risk devices by the European Medicines
Agency (‘EMA’).
 Commission: need to carefully assess the added value of EMA
involvement, as well as the necessary resources and financing.
14
Example of issue debated:
Reprocessing of single-use medical devices
 Proposals made by the European Parliament:
• All medical devices are considered suitable for reprocessing and
reusable;
• Reprocessor must provide scientific evidence;
• Commission to adopt standards for reprocessing;
• Possibility for Member States to ban the practice on their territory;
 Diverging views between Member States
 Commission: Commission proposal balanced approach
15
What do we do in the meantime?
Plan for immediate actions after PIP scandal
 Objective: strengthen controls on medical devices under the current
regulatory system
 4 pillars:




Functioning of notified bodies (NB)
Market surveillance
Coordination in vigilance and market surveillance
Communication and transparency
16
(continued)
 Achievements:
 Re-assessment of qualifications and scope of activities of NBs
 Voluntary and mandatory joint audits of NBs
 2 Commission acts
• Criteria to be met for the designation of NB
• Items to be verified by NB during an audit
 Monthly vigilance teleconferences
17
(continued)
 Achievements:
Analysis of trends on incidents
Commission Recommendation on traceability
Dialogue with Member States on registers
Report from Member States on market surveillance
activities

Impact of immediate
actions
19
Impact of Immediate Actions
Action
Impact
Re-assessment of qualifications and scope of
activities of NBs
•
•
“Voluntary” Joint Audits of NBs by Designating
Authority, Commission (FVO) plus two other CAs
•
•
•
Monthly Vigilance Teleconferences
•
•
NBs submitted to CAs the CVs of all technical
experts for high risk devices
Reduced scope for some NBs?
NBs and Designating Authorities under
scrutiny
Highlights different approaches in Member
States
Some Pain and Some Gain
Increasing number of COEN requests
More open COEN requests requiring detailed
follow up
20
Impact of Commission Implementing Regulation 920/2013 on the
designation and the supervision of notified bodies: Criteria to be
met for the designation of NB
Requirements
Impact
Joint Audits of NBs by Designating Authority, Commission
(FVO) plus two other CAs
•
•
•
•
•
NBs and Designating Authorities under scrutiny
Highlights different approaches in Member States
More scrutiny of competency requirements, in-house clinicians,
qualifications
Processes and procedures clarified
15 NB audits to date: 10 NBs to withdraw!
NB Designation valid for a maximum of five years
•
•
No impact yet; will need CA resource
Consistent with CE certification cycle
Extensions and Renewals follow the same procedure as
Designations
•
Helps consistency; will need CA resource
NBs subject to renewal by 14 October 2016
•
Helps consistency; requires CA resource
Designating Authorities shall have sufficient number of
competent personnel
•
Have they the qualified resource to deliver?
21
Impact of Com. Recommendation (2013/473/EU) on audits and
assessments performed by NBs – Items to be verified by NB
during an audit
Requirements
Impact
Annex I: Criteria for NBs performing design dossier and
type examinations
•
•
•
Mainly reinforcement of current good practice
Increased need for clinical studies, less reliance on equivalence
argument
Will clarify time needed for reviews
Annex II: Criteria for NBs performing QMS assessments
•
Mainly reinforcement of current good practice
Annex III: Unannounced visits to manufacturers, "critical
subcontractors" or “crucial suppliers”, in addition to
planned audits
•
Completely new requirement needing extra product and QMS
assessors
Significant increase in NB workload and resources
IAF rules require planned audit schedules so no scope for
substitution
A few “issues” to iron out
•

22
Unannounced Audits –
an approach
23
What happens on the day?
BSI Assessors arrive onsite and present identification (letter and weblink)
Request to speak to allocated contact or the most senior person on site
Explanation of visit within brief opening meeting
Audit team progress swiftly to manufacturing area
Assessment team work together to audit all elements specified in the
Commission Recommendation and identify areas / processes for further
audit as part of the visit
Brief closing meeting, with details of findings where possible
Report will be provided within approximately one week
Follow up of any non-conformities through normal audit processes
24
What did we learn?
So far all were ready, including small manufacturers
Some surprise at:-
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The assessment team working together
No detailed assessment plan
Different focus to normal visits. i.e. more on product,
less on supporting QMS processes (No routine coverage
of Management Review, Internal Audit & CAPA etc)
Having a visit so soon!
Feedback indicated a more positive experience than
expected!
25
Are you ready? Have you?
1. Studied the requirement?
2. Factored additional costs into budgets?
3. Implemented processes and procedures for
receiving visits?
4. Responded to any requests from your NB?
5. Reviewed (or are reviewing) critical
subcontractors & crucial suppliers contracts?
6. Communicated awareness across all staff
and trained appropriate staff?
7. Practised!?
26
On the day
1. Ensure a guide(s) assigned
2. Be aware of requirement & assist the auditors,
e.g. to get to manufacturing / specified area
as soon as possible
3. Let them know of any concerns or issues (e.g.
no CE devices in production that day, fire
alarm planned)
4. Think ahead – remember likely need to access
Technical Files / Design Dossiers for devices
5. Feel free to ask questions (will they break for
lunch, approximate time to wrap up etc).
27
Thank you for your time
& attention
