Intertek Receives Medical Device Regulation (MDR) Designation

MDR is a new set of regulations for the manufacturing of medical devices in the EU.

Stockholm, Sweden, May 17, 2020 –(PR.com)– Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance Provider to industries, is pleased to announce that the Intertek Medical Notified Body AB (IMNB) has been designated against MDR 2017/745 from the Swedish Competent Authority.

On May 5, 2017, the European Union adopted the new Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), which will replace both the Medical Devices Directive and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive by May 26, 2021. Intertek will begin accepting applications from medical device companies for MDR certification, which now includes:

– Stricter control for high-risk devices via a new pre-market scrutiny mechanism with the involvement of a pool of experts in the EU

– Reinforcement of the criteria for designation and processes for oversight of Notified Bodies

– Inclusion of certain aesthetic devices which present the same characteristics and risk profile as analogous medical devices under the scope of these Regulations

– Improved transparency through the establishment of a comprehensive EU database on medical devices and of a device traceability system based on unique device identification

– An “implant card” containing information about implanted medical devices for a patient

– Reinforcement of the rules on clinical evidence, including an EU-wide coordinated procedure for the authorisation of multi-centre clinical investigations

– Strengthened post-market surveillance requirements for manufacturers

– Improved coordination mechanisms between EU countries in the fields of vigilance and market surveillance

Calin Moldovean, President of Business Assurance and Food Services said, “We are honoured to receive the MDR designation from the Swedish Competent Authority. Intertek aims to provide total quality assurance to all its clients, and this designation brings us into the future of medical device audits. Our global Intertek Medical Notified Body team has worked hard on achieving this designation, and we look forward to helping our medical device customers with their transition to MDR.”
