Dear Sir/Madam,

MDSS acts as Authorised Representative according to MDR 2017/745 for several non-EU manufacturers worldwide. Several of them plan to produce reusable medical devices, which are intended to be processed for reuse. MDR Annex I section 23.4. (n) requires the following information:

(The instructions for use shall contain all of the following particulars:) if the device is reusable, information on the appropriate processes for allowing reuse, including cleaning, disinfection, packaging and, where appropriate, the validated method of re-sterilization appropriate to the Member State or Member States in which the device has been placed on the market. Information shall be provided to identify when the device should no longer be reused, e.g. signs of material degradation or the maximum number of allowable reuses;

EN ISO 17644-1 (“Processing of health care products - Information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer for the processing of medical devices”) also requires in chapter 6.1.4 to consider available national and international standards and directives.

Besides chapter 6.1.4, the manufacturers fully comply with EN ISO 17644-1. However, MDSS on behalf of several manufacturers would like to ask, if any national standards or directives other than EN ISO 17644-1 are applicable to reusable devices which are to be placed on your local market and are intended to be processed for reuse.

If applicable, please confirm, that there are no additional requirements specific to your territory.

Thank you and Best regards,

Hasmik Kirakosyan (she/her/hers)
