Dear Barbara,

Thank you for your letter.

Reprocessing of single-use devices (MDR article 17) is not allowed in Estonia.

I am not sure whether you are aware, but information about national rules on reprocessing single-use devices is also made available on the European Commission website - https://health.ec.europa.eu/medical-devices-topics-interest/reprocessing-medical-devices/national-rules-reprocessing-single-use-devices_en

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information or any questions.

Best regards,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I contact you because I would like to know if there is any national rule on reprocessing of single use devices in Estonia and if would be accepted the commercialization/shipment of remanufactured products?  if so is there is any document required for notification of remanufactured products  (specific labeling/specific post market surveillance for remanufactured products?

I am not aware if  it is not authorized reprocessing of single-use devices (medical and in vitro diagnostic devices)  on your  territory, and if this coming in the local legislation.

Can you kindly advice?

Thank you

Best regards,

/Barbara Björkbom
