Technical File for Medical Device (MDR)

Technical Documentation so called Technical File for Medical Device is a comprehensive file covering complete information to demonstrate safety and performance of the device against the manufactures claimed intended use. The information given in the Technical Files are structured as per MDR and IVDR requirements suitably to address General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR).

Notified body will audit technical files on annual basis to assess compliance with general safety and performance requirements. The Technical File should be developed for all type of device risk class. ( I, Is, Im, Ir, IIa, IIb, III).

Latest version of Technical Files must be retained either in electronic or hardcopy form at manufacturer premises or authorized representative premise for potential request from a EU competent authorities or from Notified Body. During initial phase of CE Marking application, complete technical documentation must submit to the notified body. After closing all review comments and updating the technical file, the notified body issues CE Certificate.

As all are aware the change in regulation from MDD / IVD to MDR / IVDR, all manufacturers need to update their technical documentation. We are medical device regulatory consultants provide MDR / IVDR remediation service. MedDeviceCorp team has gained sufficient knowledge in MDR/IVDR via training, internal debate, conferences, workshops and live upgradation services.

Stringent Technical File Documentation requirement in MDR

According to the new Medical Device Regulation, annex II identifies forty-seven specific requirements about the content of the primary file technical documentation and fifteen additional requirements from annex III on Post Market Surveillance.

Article 10 describes the obligation of manufacturers what is needed and why it is needed in the Medical Device Regulation Technical Documentation. Article 15 insists for an experienced regulatory person and his role in updating the Technical Documentation anytime for Notified Body assessment.
