Q&A around amended MDD
• Do certificates change after 21 March 2010 2007/47 is amending directive, not stand-alone one Existing certificates remain valid; no need to re-issue
them on 21 March 2010 No need to refer to M5 or 2007/47 on certificates
• Do Notified Bodies audit to M5 before March 2010 Raise observations / OFIs rather than non-conformities to
cover the additional requirements Show M4 or M5 as audit basis in Notified Body
documents and reports
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010

Q&A around amended MDD
• Can Manufacturers use Essential Requirement Checklists including M5 requirements now?
Yes; but they must agree with their Notified Body which versions of their procedures are “official” up to 21 March 2010
• Is there a requirement to have had an M5 compliance audit before 21 March 2010?
No; except where a change in classification requires a different conformity route or additional review by NB
• After 21 March 2010 all audits must be to 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC ie M5

Impact on QA Assessments - General
• 2007/47 makes some changes to the assessment under the QA modules, eg:
Documentation of control of subcontractors
Procedure for clinical evaluation
Pro-active post market surveillance
• BSI already emphasises these points as they are both explicit in ISO 13485, and active PMS was already identified in ISO 14971 and NB-rec on PMS
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Impact on QA Assessments - General
• Surveillance audit focuses more on clinical follow-up data, PMS, update risk management file
• More audit time expected due to introduction of Technical File sampling class IIa and IIb devices
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
All Annexes Document Retention Times
• What it Says The manufacturer or his authorised representative must,
for a period ending at least five years, and in the case of implantable devices at least 15 years, after the last product has been manufactured, keep (records) at the disposal of the national authorities
• What it Does Increases document retention time (in line with ISO
13485) Distinguishes implants from other products Appears to be unrelated to product lifetime
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010

Confidentiality
• Not treated as confidential: Name manufacturer / authorized rep
Certificate info including issuance, modifications, suspensions, withdrawals

4. Changes to clinical requirements
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Key MDD Changes – clinical
• Clearer Definitions (Annex X) Clinical Data – safety / performance data (literature,
market information, clinical investigation)
Clinical Evaluation – review of any type of clinical data
Clinical Investigation – clinical study involving human subjects
Clinical Evaluation of Clinical Data is required for CE Marking
• Alignment with MEDDEV 2.7.1 and ISO 14155
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Key MDD changes – clinical data
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Annex X – Clinical Evaluation
• Clinical evaluation for all medical devices
• Where demonstration of conformity based on clinical data is not deemed appropriate, compliance to ERs must be justified through risk management output, performance evaluation, bench testing and preclinical evaluation. Reason duly substantiated.
• For implants and class III medical devices: clinical evaluation unless…….
Clinical evaluation in technical file (or full reference)
Clinical evaluation and documentation must be actively updated based on PMS data
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Clinical investigations
• Data relating to clinical investigation in Europe in European database
• Any interruption, modification, refusal of clinical investigation in EU member states communicated to other Member States in the EU

5. Introduction of technical file sampling
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Key MDD changesTF sampling IIa and IIb Devices
• What it Says For devices in Class IIa the notified body shall assess
…… the technical documentation … for at least one representative sample for each device subcategory ….
For devices in Class IIb the notified body shall assess ….. The technical documentation … for at least one representative sample for each generic device group …
• What it Does Sets out different sampling regimes for Class IIa and
Class IIb Derived from GMDN terminology (BS EN ISO
15445:2000) GMDN definitions are reproduced in Article 1
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Key MDD Changes – Definitions
‘device subcategory’ means a set of devices having common areas of intended use or common technology (class IIa)
‘generic device group’ means a set of devices having the same or similar intended uses or commonality of technology allowing them to be classified in a generic manner not reflecting specific characteristics (class IIb) Critical for sampling of IIa and IIb technical documentation

Technical Documentation Sampling by Notified Bodies• Incorporated in audit plan Notified Bodies, extra
audit time Already a MEDDEV 2.10 “requirement”
• Adds similar sampling under Annex V and VI
• Defines sampling regimes
• NBOG Guidance 2009-4 (July 2009) applicable
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
BSI approach to sampling
• Sampling regimes will be based on rationale agreed with manufacturer
BSI objective is to deliver required increased scrutiny in a pragmatic and practical way
• Class IIa Based on “subcategories” identified in manufacturer scope on
certificate
Use of NBOG guidance 2009-3 on product categories
• Class IIb Manufacturer starts from GMDN generic device group definitions
BSI, in agreement with manufacturer, rationalises down to representative samples

Class IIa – Device subcategory
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Latest NBOG Guidance on TF sampling,reduced sampling numbers• For Class IIb devices: sample of generic device
groups, referenced by different GMDN preferred terms, to following plan:
Up to 2 groups: a sample from each group
Up to 10 groups: a sample from 3 (was 6) of these groups
Up to 20 groups: a sample from 5 (was 7) of these groups
Up to 30 groups: from 7 (was 8) groups a sample
N > 30 groups: from N/10 + 5 groups a sample
© Copyright The British Standards Institution 2010
For more information visit http://shop.bsigroup.com/healthcarestandards
Sampling –BSI approach
• Class IIa devices: a sample of each group over a 5 year period.
• Class IIb devices: determine sample plan for a 5 year period.
• The Sampling plan updated periodically, at least each 3 years.

Depth of Assessment of Technical Files
• Not full Design Dossier review, but it will cover “essentials”
• No differentiation between Class IIa and IIb
• Guidance from NBOG indicates that assessment of each set of technical documentation should consist of review of:
classification validity of essential requirements checklist risk management pre-clinical data (studies in animal models, biocompatibility,
nanotechnology etc.) clinical data (Note NoBo review as per MEDDEV 2.7.1) declaration of conformity, and other technical documentation based on risk

Sampling conclusions
• Major new requirement for Annex V: involvement NB in review of technical documentation
• Sampling regime
• Depth review based on NBOG guidance
• NBs need to agree sampling regimes with manufacturers as soon as possible
• Major new requirement for both NoBo and manufacturers
