We are writing to provide an update to the implementation of the
future medical device regulations.
In October 2022, the MHRA announced an intention to introduce a
12-month extension to the implementation of the future medical device
regulations. This included the continued acceptance of CE marked devices until
30 June 2024, followed by subsequent transitional arrangements as outlined in
the the government response to the
consultation.
Currently, CE marked medical devices with a valid CE mark can be
placed on the Great Britain (GB) market until 30 June 2023.
We now intend to introduce measures that will extend acceptance of
CE marked medical devices in GB beyond 30 June 2023. As detailed further below,
it will put in place transitional arrangements for defined periods for
accepting CE marked medical devices in GB (depending on the type of device and
the EU legislation it complies with). This is primarily to smooth the
transition to a future regime and help ensure continued supply of medical
devices to the GB market. We are aiming for core aspects of the future regime for
medical devices to fully apply from 1 July 2025. In setting this timeline we
have taken on board feedback from external stakeholders, including concerns
about limited capacity of conformity assessment bodies.
More specifically, we have laid legislation that will, subject to
Parliamentary approval, provide that CE marked medical devices may be placed on
the Great Britain market to the following timelines:
general medical
devices compliant with the EU medical devices directive (EU MDD) or EU
active implantable medical devices directive (EU AIMDD) with a valid
declaration and CE marking can be placed on the Great Britain market up
until the sooner of expiry of certificate or 30 June 2028
in
vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs) compliant with the
EU in vitro diagnostic medical devices directive (EU IVDD) can be placed
on the Great Britain market up until the sooner of expiry of certificate
or 30 June 2030,
and
general medical
devices, including custom-made devices, compliant with the EU medical
devices regulation (EU MDR) and IVDs compliant with the EU in vitro diagnostic
medical devices regulation (EU IVDR) can be placed on the Great Britain
market up until 30
June 2030.
This would enable certain CE marked medical devices to continue to
be placed on the Great Britain market for longer. The above timelines will not
include class I medical devices and general IVDs under the Directives where the
conformity assessment under the relevant Directive and under the EU MDR or EU
IVDR does not involve a notified body. Similarly, they will not include
custom-made devices that are compliant with the EU MDD or EU AIMDD.
Please note that these proposals are subject to parliamentary
agreement and may change. We will continue to update you of any changes.
Also, we communicated in March 2023 that the EU has taken steps to give
manufacturers more time to get certain medical devices certified under the EU
Medical Devices Regulation (EU MDR), including extending validity of
certain CE certificates. To provide greater clarity for industry, we have
published guidance about
acceptance of such certificates on the Great Britain market.
For further information, please see the latest update on the implementation of the future
regulations for medical devices.
Thank you,
