Medical Device Definition:
‘medical device’ means any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, material or other article, whether used alone or in combination, including the software intended by its manufacturer to be used specifically for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes and necessary for its proper application, intended by the manufacturer to be used for human beings for the purpose of: - diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease, - diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of or compensation for an injury or handicap, - investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological process, - control of conception, And which does not achieve its principal intended action in or on the human body by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means , but which may be assisted in its function by such means.
Ref: Council Directive 93/42/EEC
7
Medical Device Definition: ‘medical device’ means any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, implant , reagent , material or other article intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings for one or more of the following specific medical purposes • diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction , prognosis, treatment or alleviation of disease, • diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of, or compensation for an injury or disability , • investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological or pathological process or state , • providing information by means of in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body, including organ blood and tissue donations And which does not achieve its principal intended action by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means , in or on the human body, but which may be assisted in its function by such means. The following products shall also be deemed to be medical devices – Devices for the control or support of conception, – products specifically intended for the cleaning , disinfection or sterilisation of devices as referred to in article 1(4) and those referred to in the first paragraph of this point. Ref: Regulation 2017/745 8
Scope change
ANNEX XVI LIST OF GROUPS OF PRODUCTS WITHOUT AN INTENDED MEDICAL PURPOSE REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 1(2)
• 1. Contact lenses or other items intended to be introduced into or onto the eye. • 2. Products intended to be totally or partially introduced into the human body through surgically invasive means for the purpose of modifying the anatomy or fixation of body parts with the exception of tattooing products and piercings. • 3. Substances, combinations of substances, or items intended to be used for facial or other dermal or mucous membrane filling by subcutaneous, submucous or intradermal injection or other introduction, excluding those for tattooing. • 4. Equipment intended to be used to reduce, remove or destroy adipose tissue, such as equipment for liposuction, lipolysis or lipoplasty. • 5. High intensity electromagnetic radiation (e.g. infra-red, visible light and ultra-violet) emitting equipment intended for use on the human body, including coherent and non-coherent sources, monochromatic and broad spectrum, such as lasers and intense pulsed light equipment, for skin resurfacing, tattoo or hair removal or other skin treatment. • 6. Equipment intended for brain stimulation that apply electrical currents or magnetic or electromagnetic fields that penetrate the cranium to modify neuronal activity in the brain. This Regulation shall also apply, as from the date of application of common specifications The necessary common specifications shall be adopted by 26 May 2020. They shall apply as from six months after the date of their entry into force or from 26 May 2020, whichever is the latest.

IVD MD Definition: “‘in vitro diagnostic medical device’ means any medical device which is a reagent, reagent product, calibrator, control material, kit, instrument, apparatus, equipment, or system, whether used alone or in combination, intended by the manufacturer to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue donations, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information: — concerning a physiological or pathological state, or — concerning a congenital abnormality, or — to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, Or — to monitor therapeutic measures.”
10
Device or Medicine ?
Consider the manufacturer’s claim
• Device – NOT by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means • Medicine – correcting or modifying physiological functions
Device action tends to be physical e.g. a support or barrier.
11
Guidance Documents
http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/medical-devices/guidance_en MEDDEVS for medical device directive. Guidances under development for the regulation.
12
Other Guidance
• Notified body (if you have one) • National Competent Authorities (CA) obliged to render decisions for any individual product (if asked) - Note: European opinion may differ • Borderline and Classification Medical Devices Expert Group - CA and industry represented . - MDEG can help with an opinion - Guidelines, not legally binding - Provides a potential common position for Member States - Note: US /Japan opinions on classification sometimes differ • European Court of Justice (“the Court”) the authoritative interpretation of Community law.
13
Medical Devices Examples:- • Tongue depressors • Syringes • Dental fillings • Sutures • X-ray scanners • Blood bags • Prescription spectacles • Bandages • Wheelchairs • Artificial tears (unmedicated) • Hip replacements
14
Medical Device Accessories ‘accessory’ means an article which whilst not being a device is intended specifically by its manufacturer to be used together with a device to enable it to be used in accordance with the use of the device intended by the manufacturer of the device; For example:- • Contact lens care products • Skin barrier powders and pastes for use with ostomy bags • Gases used to drive surgical tools
NOTE: Accessories treated as devices in their own right ! Ref: Council Directive 93/42/EEC
15
Medical Devices for Drug Delivery
Examples:-
• An empty syringe • Drug delivery pump • Nebulizers • Medicine Spoons • ‘Lock out’ tablet dispensers
16
Medicinal Products
Examples:-
• Spermicidal preparations • Gases used in anaesthesia • Topical disinfectants • Toothache preparations (i.e. Eugenol) • Water for injections, IV fluids • Antacids • Artificial tears (medicated) • Root canal dressings
17
Integral Products (which are medicines)
Definition:-
• Devices for administration of medicinal products such that the device and the medicinal product form a single integral product designed to be used exclusively in the given combination and which is not reusable.
Regulated as medicines: 2001/83/EEC .
18
Integral Products (which are medicines)
Examples:-
• Prefilled syringes/pens • Aerosols containing a medicinal substance • Pre-charged nebulizers • Implants that release a medicinal product • Patches for transdermal drug delivery
19
Integral Products (which are devices)
Definition:-
Device that incorporates, as an integral part, a substance .. if used separately, may be considered .. a medicinal product .. and which is liable to act on the body with action ancillary to that of the device
Regulated as device: 93/42/EEC article 1(4)
20
Integral Products (which are devices)
Examples:- • Catheters coated with Heparin or an antibiotic agent • Bone cements containing antibiotic • Root canal sealers which may incorporate medicinal substances with secondary action • Blood bags containing anti-coagulant • Soft tissue fillers incorporating local anaesthetics • Condoms coated with spermicides • Wound dressings with antimicrobial agent
21
An example…………
Reusable insulin pen • Insulin cartridge (medicine) is put into the empty pen (medical device). • Several injections and once the cartridge is empty, the cartridge is discarded • A new cartridge is put into the pen
Prefilled insulin pen • The insulin cartridge is fixed in the pen • Several injections, the entire pen is discarded once empty (medicine)
22
Products Together in a Carton/Procedure Packs Medicinal products with a device
• e.g. a medicine(antibiotic) with a device (dosing spoon) • Present the submission as per the common technical document ie MAA. • Provide a copy of the CE certificate for the device. • Introducing a new device or device supplier is a Type 1B variation Procedure packs (more than one device) • Procedure packs per Article 12 of Directive 93/42/EEC each device keeps its own classification. • If pack includes devices without a CE mark, or combination is not compatible with original intended use, the pack is a device in its own right.
23
IVD examples
IVD • Pregnancy testing kits • Specimen collection tubes • Blood analysis (ABO, rhesus) • Companion diagnostics ----------------------------------------- Not IVD • Research use only – biomarkers • Breathalyzers • Laboratory reagents (unless diagnostic)
24
Borderline with other Directives
• Skin peeling products (device or cosmetic) – Depends if a medical claim (appearance vs scar removal) – Depth (top layer of skin or deeper action) – Frequency of application • Insect repellent (device or biocide) • Manufacturer wanted a medical claim of prevention of injuries from insects • No - primary action is to repel insects (and not humans) and so not a medicinal claim. It is a biocide.
25
Exercise 1
• Medical device or not a medical device?
• A potential question for the regulatory department
26
Three toothpastes:
Sensodyne rapid relief •Clinically proven to relieve the pain of sensitive teeth •Mineral like seal over the dentine and within microscopic channels
Sensodyne total care •Clinically proven relief from the pain of sensitive teeth •Potassium nitrate relieves the pain of sensitive teeth by directly calming the nerve endings inside teeth Macleans
•Deep down protection against plaque and decay •Clinically proven for healthy gums •Antibacterial action for protection against bad breath
Macleans, Sensodyne and rings are trademarks of GSK
27
Module 2
• Who’s who? Key Stakeholders
– Regulatory Agencies – Competent Authorities
– Notified Bodies
– European committees and organizations
– Companies
28
European Regulatory Agencies European Commission (EC)
European Medicines Agency (EMA) manage medicinal product procedures (as yet limited device involvement) http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/ Committee of Human Pharmaceutical Products (CHMP) provide scientific assessment with the support of specialised working groups Legislation produced for both medicines and devices Medical devices http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/medical‐devices/ Medicinal products http://ec.europa.eu/health/human‐use/
29
National Regulatory Agencies Some countries have one agency that implements both medical device and medicinal product legislation e.g. Ireland
Others have different agencies e.g. Netherlands
Netherlands: Devices: Health Care Inspectorate (IGZ)
Netherlands : Medicines: Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB)
30
Competent Authority (CA) Role Government agency per EU country responsible for MD directives • Notifies Bodies to the EC based on assessed ability (NB) • Interpretation and Guidance on law (e.g. classification) • Can ask the EU Commission for a classification decision – (MDEG) • Inspect, Audit and “deNotify” NB , including during NB activities • Can inspect class I Manufacturers • Surveillance responsibilities • Oversees that manufacturer investigates serious incidents and implements corrective action (if necessary) • Informs other EU countries when a local manufacturer has a corrective action • Authorisation of clinical investigations • On going post‐market communications – certificates withdrawn, suspended • Maintains national device register (class I database and EUDAMED)
31
Notified Body (NB) • Evaluate manufacturer’s compliance to legislation • Issue certification (EC) to permit CE marking of a device • NB’s tend to be private sector companies • Company chooses its NB body: provided they are designated in that device area. • NBs listed per directive • http://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools‐databases/nando/index.cfm?fuseaction=directive.notifiedbody&dir_id=13 • National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI)

32
EU Commission - now
Committee on medical devices • Regulatory power to change classification rules
• Implementation of Eudamed • Measures are legally binding • E.g. Hip replacement reclassification • Only meets when necessary
• Medical device expert group (MDEG) • Other working groups
33
EU Commission - future • An expert committee, the Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG), composed of persons designated by the Member States (MS) based on their role and expertise in the field of medical devices including in vitro diagnostic medical devices (meeting quarterly in 2019) • to provide advice to the Commission aiming for a harmonised implementation of the Regulation. • MDCG will have subgroups
• Post Market Surveillance & Vigilance (PMSV) • International/IMDRF coordination (INT) • Notified body oversight (NBO) • Market Surveillance (MS) • New technologies (NET) and Software • Clinical investigation and evaluation (CIE) • Annex XVI (no medical purpose products) • In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) • Unique Device Identification (UDI) • Standards (STAND) • Borderline and Classification (B and C)
34
Notified Body Operations Group (NBOG) • Membership – European Commission – Member States’ CA – NB representatives by invite only • To improve the overall performance of NBs • Provide examples of best practice • Training function • Aim for consistency • Used by NBs and CA • Review TEAM-NB’s NB-MED documents
35
TEAM-NB
36
In the Company Legal Manufacturer The natural or legal person with responsibility for the design, manufacture, packaging and labelling of a device before it is placed on the market under his own name, regardless of whether these operations are carried out by that person himself or on his behalf by a third party European Authorised Representative If LM is outside community • established in the Community • Contact for CA and NB in the Community instead of the manufacturer • IMPACT OF BREXIT where your AR lives.

Implementation – priorities & challenges
European Commission • Eudamed & UDI system • NBOG codes – enabling act published • Expert panels • Implementing / delegated acts (43 in MDR), common specifications and guidance. National agencies • Defining national policy (where there are Member State derogations) • Re-processing • In-house manufacturing • Re-designating NBs – plan needs to be published and consistent across EU for manufacturers and Notified Bodies.
44

Legislation of Integral Products
• Products should be regulated either by the device or medicines review process. Not both . • Assess under the primary legislation, general principles of the other legislation should apply • Medicine with a device Device portion must meet the relevant essential requirements to annex 1 to directive 93/42/EEC and shall apply as far as safety and performance related features are concerned : Article 1 (3) Present the dossier as required by the common technical dossier (CTD). Include device information in the quality section (Module 3) usually in regional information. • Device with a medicine Medicine must meet medicinal scientific requirements : Directive 2001/83/EC Technical file will cross refer to the EU‐wide approved medicinal product or if new medicine to the CTD medicinal product section submitted
49
Consultation Between Agencies
Agency can gain advice for the portion of the product outside of their expertise. Device agency can ask their medicinal product agency and vice versa. http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/sectors/medical‐devices/files/meddev/2_1_3_rev_3‐ 12_2009_en.pdf
For a medicinal product approved via the centralised procedure consultation with the EMA/CHMP is possible.
http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/docum ent_library/Regulatory_and_procedural_guideli ne/2009/10/WC500004337.pdf
more formal input required with article 117 MDR. manufacturers of administrative devices must seek the opinion of a Notified Body regarding the conformity of the device component of the product.

51
Harmonized Standards
• A harmonised standard is a European standard developed by a recognised European Standards Organisation: CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI. • Medical device arena is very broad - thousands of products, need to be grouped • Developed by consensus: • Created following a request from the European Commission to one of these organisations. • Manufacturers, other economic operators, or conformity assessment bodies can use harmonised standards to demonstrate that products, services, or processes comply with relevant EU legislation. • The references of harmonised standards must be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. • Use of standards to demonstrate compliance to essential requirements is voluntary • Where used, notified bodies presume compliance to directive • Standards are listed in the Official Journal of the European Union https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european- standards/harmonised-standards_en
52
More Information Sources
More Specific Standards • Sterilization • Biological evaluation of medical devices • Medical Electrical safety • Packaging Materials for devices to be sterilized General Standards
• Quality systems • Risk Management • Clinical Investigation of MDs for human subjects Good Clinical Practice • Graphic Symbols • Information supplied by the manufacturer Product Specific Standards • e.g. For Respiratory equipment, Joint replacement implants, Clinical thermometers, Oxygen monitors
53
Module 4
• Classification of devices
• Classification rules
• Reclassification of devices
54
Classification of Devices
More risky the product the higher the classification
• Class I
eg. tongue depressor
• Sterile • Measuring eg. dosing spoon
• Class IIA • Class IIB • Class III
eg. blood pressure measuring
eg. ventilators eg. heart valve
55
Classification – Key Concepts
Rules apply according to intended purpose - :
Duration:
transient (<60 mins) short term (<30 days) long term (>30 days)
Invasiveness:
Non-invasive invasive in a body orifice (eyes/stoma) surgically invasive implantable (hip replacement)
Non-Active/Active:
56
Concept of Time • Application quick, but in situ for longer e.g. cream • Continuous use: uninterrupted actual use of the device for the intended purpose. • However where usage of a device is discontinued in order for the device to be replaced immediately by the same or an identical device this shall be considered an extension of the continuous use of the device
Ref: Directive 93/42/EEC Annex IX Sect 2.6 Chapter II
57
Active Medical Device • Any medical device operation of which depends on a source of electrical energy or any source of power other than that directly generated by the human body or gravity and which acts by converting this energy. • Hearing aids, TENs machines, light boxes to treat SAD • Stand alone software is considered to be an active medical device. Ref: Directive 93/42/EEC Annex IX Sect 1.4 An active non implantable regulated by this directive. Active implantable regulated by Directive 90/385/EEC
MEDDEV 2.1/6 Guidance on software (what is and what is not a medical device)
58
How to Apply the Rules
• Manufacturer decides on the basis of the decision rules in the Directive (Annex IX) and the intended purpose of the device
• Decision criteria: time, invasiveness, powered or not (active/non-active), presence of drugs
• All rules must be considered • For multipurpose devices the highest class applies
59
Impact of classification
• The choice of conformity route depends on classification • Article 11 MDD indicates choice of annexes to be followed e.g. Class IIb Annex II (full quality system) or Annex III plus Annex IV or V or VI.
• MDR refer to Chapter V Article 52. e.g. Class IIb
Chapter I and II of Annex IX and section 4 or Annex X plus XI.
NB involvement differs per route
60
Currently - 18 rules
Rules 1 - 4
Non-invasive devices
Rules 5 - 8
Invasive devices
Rules 9 – 12 Active devices
Rule 13- 18 Special rules
http://ec.europa.eu/DocsRoom/documents/10337/attachments /1/translations
61
Example: Rule 6 Surgically invasive devices - transient use - Class IIa unless: • Intended to control, diagnose, monitor or correct defect of the heart or of the central circulatory system through direct contact -Class III (angioplasty balloon catheters) • Reusable surgical instruments - Class I (scalpels) • Intended for direct contact with the central nervous system - Class III (brain spatulas) • To supply energy in the form of ionising radiation - Class IIb • Intended to have a biological effect or to be absorbed - Class IIb • Intended to administer medicines by means of a delivery system, if in a potentially hazardous manner - Class IIb
62
Reclassification Process
Art. 9.3. Where a Member State considers that the classification rules set out in Annex IX require adaptation in the light of technical progress and any information which becomes available under the information system provided for in Article 10, it may submit a duly substantiated request to the Commission and ask it to take the necessary measures for adaptation of classification rules.
63
EU Directives for Reclassification • Reclassification of breast implants: http://eur- lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2003:028:0043:004 4:en:PDF • Reclassification of hip, knee and shoulder joint replacements: http://eur- lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2005:21 0:0041:0043:en:PDF

• Conformity Assessment Process
• Specific Requirements
71
Process (Conformity Assessment) 1. Define intended use of the device 2. Classify device
3. Establish Quality Management System 4. Establish post market surveillance system 5. Choose a conformity assessment procedure 6. Conduct Risk Assessment 7. Prepare technical documentation (incl essential requirement (ER) checklist) 8. Submit to NB if required and get issued certificates 9. Sign the declaration of conformity 10. “Affix” the CE mark and place on the EC market 11. Register the Product (if necessary)
72
Define intended use of the device
‘intended purpose’ means the use for which the device is intended according to the data supplied by the manufacturer on the labelling , in the instructions and/or in promotional materials;
intended use indications contraindications warnings and precautions claims and benefits
who user whom patient
expertise
population where environment environment when concomitant compatibility
Align marketing materials with technical information – Needs upfront agreement and documentation in the tech file – Needs approval process with regulatory review to prevent ‘drift’
Establish Quality Management System to support device
Usually ISO 13485 – the harmonised standard – Framework for the policies, procedures, work
instructions, records etc., that are needed to bring your device to market. – Includes regulatory requirements (vigilance, Field safety corrective actions (FSCA), risk management etc.) – Needs to be assessed and certificated – Watch out: • Ensure scope of QMS certification covers the devices you wish to CE mark • Ensure all activities are covered between yours, your suppliers and distributors certificates
Establish post market surveillance system
May include:- –
Vigilance process
FSCA process
– – – – –
User / Patient group feedback User / Patient Questionnaires
Input from Scientific Advisory Boards
Post Market Clinical Follow Up
– Remember you may be restricted from direct patient contact – Remember GDPR may affect what you hold as data
Conduct Risk Assessment
ISO 14971 Harmonised standard
•
• Risks need to be eliminated or reduced risk as far as practicable • Any remaining residual risk must be outweighed by the benefits associated with the device – risk benefit analysis. • Risk Assessment required throughout the product life cycle -Pre market AND post market.
Conduct Risk Assessment • Principles
What can go wrong?
How often?
How bad?
Do I need to do something?
What do I need to do?
Conduct Risk Assessment • 3 phases
PREPARATION AND PLANNING IdentifyTeam PrepareRisk AssessmentPlan
PHASE 1
RISK ASSESSMENT Identifyhazards Identify causes Identifyharm Listexisting controls Assess risk
PHASE 2
Determine risk acceptability Develop recommendations
REVIEW AND FOLLOW- UP Review recommendations Implement additional measures Re-assess risk
PHASE 3
Conduct Risk Assessment
Product not Corporate Requirements • Irreversible injury or fatality never ok • Frequent minor problems require commercial review • Clear acceptability threshold

Prepare technical documentation
“ Technical File” demonstrate compliance to the directive Evidence to show one conforms to the assessment procedure Evidence of conformity with the Essential Requirements Prepared and retained by manufacturer – under document control Auditable “Design Dossier” if a product falls into Class 3 Content type is the same but extent of detail is usually greater. Major difference from all other classifications of product submitted to the NB for examination before product can be CE marked All changes must be submitted prior to implementation
Prepare technical documentation • Technical “File” NB-MED 2.5.1Rec5Rev4 or GHTF STeD – Product description – General Information include accessories, classification with rule, conformity assessment route chosen – List of Standards used to demonstrate compliance – Essential Requirements Checklist – Risk Analysis – Clinical Data – Labelling including Instructions for Use – List of manufacturing sites – what is made where including subcontractors – Manufacturer name and address + Authorised Rep (if applicable) – Declaration of Conformity
Prepare technical documentation • - Technical File Contents
Test and verification reports
–
– Design history from the QMS especially validation reports – Product specifications / drawings from raw materials to finished product – Description of, or reference, to manufacturing processes and procedures – Subcontractor details – Product inspection / release procedures
